NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º

Blind Corner Brewery

Split Timber presents as a quintessential Hazy IPA, evoking a sensory landscape of sun-drenched citrus and resinous depth. The profile is anchored by a vibrant core of pulpy orange and sweet, honeyed rind, providing a lush fruitiness that defines the initial impression. A distinct green edge lends a firm, herbaceous structure, reminiscent of fresh-cut timber and resin, which grounds the sweeter citrus notes. This 6.5% ABV ale balances its intense hop-forward character with a soft, supple body and a gentle finish, delivering a steady and marked drinking experience that highlights modern hop complexity without overwhelming bitterness.

Appearance. Color ranges from deep straw to a golden-orange (5-7 SRM). The beer is opaque with a characteristic hazy shine, free of visible particulates or yeast clumps. It supports a thick, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus notes of pulpy orange and honeyed citrus rind. A notable green, resinous edge provides a firm, piney contrast to the tropical fruit. The malt character is low and neutral, presenting as lightly bready or grainy, providing a clean canvas for the hops. Fermentation esters are supportive and fruity, blending seamlessly with the hop profile.

Taste. The initial impression is a burst of juicy, pulpy orange and zesty citrus peel. A subtle honeyed sweetness supports the hop oils, while a firm green, resinous hop edge provides depth and structure. Malt flavor is low, suggesting light grain or wheat. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as smooth and non-harsh. The finish is soft and off-dry, with a lingering aftertaste of citrus rind and fresh hop resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably smooth, soft mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate, enhancing the drinkability without being prickly. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. The texture is supple and clean, lacking any harshness or raw starch astringency.
