NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º 36 IBU

Barclay Brewing Co.

VIBRATIONS presents as a bright and quintessential Hazy IPA, redesigned for effortless drinkability while maintaining a punchy, juicy character. The sensory experience is led by an intense bouquet of tropical fruit, specifically notes of ripe mango and crushed pineapple, alongside bright citrus zests. A supportive, low-intensity bready malt backbone provides a soft foundation without any distracting caramel or toast. On the palate, the hop-forward expression continues with waves of stone fruit and tangerine, balanced by a restrained, smooth bitterness. The finish is clean and off-dry, highlighting a modern flagship's focus on freshness and a velvety, approachable structure that remains incredibly easy to drink.

Appearance. Straw to light orange with a luminous, opaque haze that creates a characteristic shine. It features a dense, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and persistent lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring saturated notes of tropical mango, passion fruit, and tangerine. Clean, lightly bready malt provides a neutral background, supported by fruity fermentation esters with no hop grassiness.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with layers of pineapple and peach. Low, grainy malt flavor supports a soft, moderate bitterness that is never harsh. The finish is smooth and off-dry with a lingering tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, plush, and velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, and the beer lacks any harshness or acidic twang, providing a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
