Moksa Brewing Pineapple SUPERFUZZ
What the brewers say
“We took our ‘Tropical Fuzz,’ our hazy pale ale with a touch of fresh pineapple, and amplified the flavors into a full-blown hazy IPA with 4x the fresh pineapple. Combined with a 3.3 lb/bbl dry hop of Idaho 7/Mosaic, this beer is one tasty tropical treat.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Overripe pineapple, mango, white pepper, pine, and a dash of dank bitterness.”
Flavor: “The pineapple slips right into the citrusy tropical-fruit flavor (orange, mango, papaya, coconut) of the hops. It’s a little distinctive because it’s riper than the usual pineapple character. It also adds a balancing tartness that goes well with the lemon/orange citrus. Could use more carbonation to accentuate some of the brighter flavors.”
Overall: “A good example of fruit additions in a beer matched with a hops profile that both accentuates and plays off the qualities from the adjunct.”
