Overview

Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: Pours a hazy, glowing straw-gold with a dense, pillowy white head that leaves soft lacing on the glass.
-
Aroma: A wave of bright, tropical citrus bursts from the glass. Prominent notes of fresh-squeezed grapefruit, candied orange peel, and ripe mango lead the way, complemented by subtle undertones of stone fruit and a hint of green, herbaceous dankness.
-
Palate: Juicy and vibrant upfront. Flavors of tangerine, tropical papaya, and peach nectar coat the palate, supported by a soft, pillowy malt body derived from oats and wheat. There is minimal bitterness on the finish, giving way instead to a smooth, luscious citrus note that fades cleanly.
-
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, velvety, and smooth with a low, soft carbonation that emphasizes the hazy, cloud-like texture.
The Verdict
Silent Stars is a beautifully crafted single-hop hazy IPA that lets Citra shine without letting sweetness overwhelm the glass. It balances juicy tropical depth with a remarkably smooth, refreshing finish.
