NEIPA - New England IPA 6.2 º 26 IBU

Braukollektiv

Braukollektiv Bruce is an inviting Hazy IPA that exemplifies the 'juicy' New England character. It opens with a vibrant bouquet of tropical fruits and citrus, driven by a unique hopping process that emphasizes aromatic depth over sharp bitterness. The use of special malts provides a soft, supportive graininess that anchors the high-intensity fruit profile without adding cloying sweetness. This beer offers a notably full mouthfeel and a smooth, pillowy texture, yet maintains a surprisingly clean finish that encourages another sip. It is a well-balanced, bright expression of the style, focusing on biotransformation-derived complexity and a lush, fruit-forward sensory experience.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, opaque straw to light gold with a brilliant shine. Topped by a thick, rocky, white meringue-like head with high retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring tropical mango, stone fruit, and bright citrus. Background notes of neutral, grainy malt are present; fermentation esters are fruity and well-integrated without any caramel or toast.

Taste. Initial impression of intense tropical and citrus fruit flavors. Malt presents as low, clean, and bready. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as low due to the soft body, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish with a clean, fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a very light alcohol warmth consistent with its strength, and is entirely free of harshness or astringency.
