NEIPA - New England IPA 6 º

Alefarm Brewing

This Hazy IPA delivers a saturated sensory experience driven by a nuanced blend of Belma, Vista, and Vic Secret hops. An immediate bouquet of crushed strawberries and ripe cantaloupe from the Belma hops melds seamlessly with Vic Secret’s tropical signatures of bright pineapple and resinous passion fruit. Vista hops round out the profile with delicate layers of white peach and papaya. Supported by a bready, grainy malt backbone, the palate is plush and soft, emphasizing fruit juice qualities over sharp bitterness. It finishes clean with a lingering tropical sweetness, capturing the quintessential smooth, pillowy essence of the style.

Appearance. Color is a deep straw (approx 4 SRM) with a dense, meringue-like white head that shows high retention. The body is notably hazy and opaque with a luminous sheen, free from visible hop matter or yeast clumps.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of strawberry, melon, pineapple, and passion fruit. A background of neutral, grainy, and bready malt is present. Fermentation character is cleanly estery, supporting the tropical hop notes without any buttery or acidic traits.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with dominant tropical and stone fruit notes. The malt provides a supportive, lightly bready foundation. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and restrained, balancing the off-dry finish. No harshness or sharp hop bite is present in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, smooth, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. The beer provides a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and is entirely free of astringency or raw starch sensations.
