reef - hazy ipa

A coral reef is a vibrant kaleidoscope of colors, shapes, and movement: magnificent corals, sponges, algae, and sea anemones provide a home for countless fish, turtles, crustaceans, seahorses, mollusks, and other marine creatures. From the breathtaking reefs of the Great Barrier Reef to the mysterious coral gardens of Belize and the colorful underwater landscapes of Palau, reefs around the world are fascinating attractions for anyone who snorkels or dives. After such an underwater excursion, there’s hardly anything better than enjoying a cold beer and sharing the experiences with friends.

Moon Lark’s Hazy IPA Reef builds on this experience. In the glass, it shimmers a cloudy, vibrant orange-gold and is crowned with a stable, creamy head of foam. Tropical fruit aromas waft around the tip of the nose: juicy mango, ripe passion fruit, pineapple, and a hint of citrus. Floral notes and a subtle malt sweetness harmoniously underline the aroma.

On the palate, the beer presents itself as velvety and full-bodied: silky notes of ripe tropical fruits converge on the palate, blending with floral hints and soft grain to create an irresistible composition. The lively hop bitterness perfectly balances the fruity sweetness, while a hint of resin and exotic herbs adds complexity. The finish is dry, refreshing, and lingers long on the tongue.
