NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º

Atom
FireRock Brewing Co

This Hazy IPA offers a saturated sensory experience driven by a double dry-hopped blend of Citra, Galaxy, and HBC 586. The Vermont yeast strain contributes a clean, estery backdrop that amplifies an intense medley of tropical and stone fruits. Expect a vibrant rush of papaya, mango, and guava, complemented by softer notes of peach, apricot, and lychee. A substantial grist of oats creates a luxurious, velvety texture that carries the hops through a soft, exceptionally low-bitterness finish. It is a quintessential modern IPA focusing on fruit density, hop biotransformation, and a plush, approachable mouthfeel.

Appearance. Pale gold with an orange hue (approx. 5 SRM) and a deep, uniform haze providing a matte-like shine. It supports a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity aroma featuring a lush tropical canopy of mango, guava, and papaya. Distinct stone fruit undertones of peach and apricot appear alongside a subtle lychee floral note. The Citra and Galaxy hops dominate with citrus and passionfruit edges, supported by a bready, grain-forward malt base and fruity esters from the Vermont yeast.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical juice—papaya and mango—followed by nectar-like peach and apricot flavors. Hop flavor is very high, while perceived bitterness is remarkably low, providing just enough structure to balance the soft, bready malt. The Citra, Galaxy, and HBC 586 provide a complex fruit profile that lingers into a clean, off-dry finish with no hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable velvety, pillowy texture derived from the heavy use of oats. Carbonation is moderate, enhancing the soft mouthfeel. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and absolutely no astringency or raw starch texture.
