Juicy tropical fruit and citrus hop flavors. Moderate bitterness, softer than classic IPA. Low to medium malt sweetness. Creamy, soft finish. Approachable haze character with pleasant hop expression.

Texture en bouche

Histoire

A softer, less intense variant of the New England IPA concept that emerged around 2016-2018 as brewers applied hazy, juicy techniques to lower-strength pale ales. Represents the maturation of the hazy beer movement beyond IPAs into more approachable territory. Gaining rapid adoption across American and international craft brewing.
