The beer is brewed with a blend of American and New Zealand hops, which gives it its tropical and citrusy flavour profile. The Citra hops provide notes of mango and grapefruit, while the Mosaic hops add pineapple and passionfruit. The Simcoe hops provide a bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the malt.
Solar Flare has a golden-orange colour and a hazy appearance. This is due to the proteins and polyphenols in the malt, which scatter light. The haze also helps to protect the delicate hop aromas from oxidation. The malt provides the body, while the hops provide the flavour. The bitterness in the finish can help to cut through the fat in fatty foods, such as burgers and pizza. It can also help to balance out the sweetness in spicy foods, such as Thai food and Indian food.
Overall, Beavertown Solar Flare is a well-made hazy double IPA with a tropical and citrusy flavour profile.
