NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º

Brouwerij Frontaal

Crowdsurfer presents a vibrant, sun-drenched sensory experience typical of a modern Hazy IPA, further elevated by the infusion of apricot and peaches. The aroma is a concentrated blast of nectar-like stone fruit, where the natural sugars of the fruit additives merge seamlessly with tropical hop notes of mango and papaya. On the palate, a soft, pillowy texture carries flavors of ripe orchard fruits and a gentle, bready malt backbone. The bitterness is restrained and smooth, providing a clean counterpoint to the juice-forward profile. This 6.5% ABV pour finishes with a refreshing, lingering fruit sweetness and a soft, rounded mouthfeel that emphasizes its drinkability.

Appearance. Straw to deep orange-gold color (4-7 SRM) with a characteristic opaque, luminous haze. Features a thick, meringue-like white head with high retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity stone fruit aroma dominated by ripe apricot and fuzzy peach, complemented by tropical hop notes of passion fruit and citrus. Malt character is low, presenting as lightly bready or grainy-sweet. Fermentation esters are fruity and clean, fully supporting the adjunct-driven profile.

Taste. High fruity flavor led by apricot and peach, layered over tropical hop flavors. Malt flavor is medium-low, providing a neutral, cereal-like base. Perceived bitterness is moderate but soft, avoiding any sharp or harsh edges. The finish is off-dry and exceptionally juicy, with a lingering, smooth fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, plush texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth, creamy sensation. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, with no astringency or harshness.
