NEIPA - New England IPA 9 º

Brewski
Crooked Moon Brewing
Blech.Brut

Brütal Hugging is a powerful collaboration between Brewski, Blech.Brut, and Crooked Moon, delivering a massive New England style Triple IPA experience. At 9% ABV, it presents an intense aromatic profile dominated by tropical fruit and delicate floral notes. The sensory journey is defined by lush mango and concentrated dried apricot, supported by a soft, pillowy malt backbone. This Triple IPA emphasizes a creamy, mouth-filling texture that balances its significant strength with a surprisingly smooth delivery. While classified as a Double IPA, its rich fruit character and substantial presence create an indulgent, floral-forward profile that lingers with a gentle, warming finish.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (6-8 SRM); opaque and hazy with a substantial, persistent white head that leaves dense, rocky lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent mango and dried apricot. Distinctive floral notes interplay with a lightly fruity fermentation profile, supported by a clean, grainy-sweet malt background. Alcohol is noticeable but integrated and smooth.

Taste. Initial impression of saturated tropical fruit juice, specifically mango and stone fruit. Medium-high bitterness is present but softened by a creamy malt texture. The malt provides a bready, supportive base without being overly sweet. Finishes medium-dry with a long, lingering floral and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a creamy, mouth-filling texture. Carbonation is moderate. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
