Sensory Description:

Poured, Snowman Spray Tan presents a dense hazy golden-orange hue, offering a full and creamy off-white head. On the nose it opens with an intense burst of tropical fruit—ripe mango, pineapple, passionfruit—layered over zesty citrus peel and a soft whisper of resinous pine. The palate is lush and juicy, with bold flavors of orange-tangerine, pink grapefruit, and stone-fruit (apricot/peach) that meld into tropical berries and melon. A gentle resinous bitterness and light herbal edge carry it through to a satisfying finish: smooth, soft-bodied yet substantial, with a lingering citrus rind and subtle hop bitterness that gives it balance and drinkability.

Producer’s Background:

Since its founding in 2015, WeldWerks Brewing Co. has made a name for itself in Colorado’s craft brewery scene, particularly for its hazy-IPA program and “juicy” hop-forward beers. The brewery emphasizes bold flavor profiles and careful hop selection, making each release a standout among the pack. Snowman Spray Tan slots into that lineup as a premium expression of their commitment to big aromatic impact, drinkability and high-quality craft production.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve at ~45–48 °F (7–9 °C) in a tulip or IPA glass to capture aroma and retain foam. Pair this beer with spiced grilled chicken or jerk pork, citrus-glazed salmon, or vibrant dishes like mango salsa or roasted butternut squash with sage. It also holds its own with creamy cheeses like gouda or triple-cream brie to complement the tropical fruit and mellow bitterness.
