NEIPA - New England IPA 7 º

Burdock

Ducks Royale is a quintessential Hazy IPA that exemplifies a juicy sensory profile through a curated selection of New World hops. The experience opens with an intense aromatic burst of tropical fruit and ripe stone fruit, underscored by a clean, bready malt foundation. On the palate, vibrant layers of mango, passionfruit, and sweet citrus dominate, supported by a soft, pillowy texture that expertly integrates the 7% alcohol. A restrained bitterness ensures the focus remains on the deep hop saturation, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish. It is an elegant, hop-forward expression defined by its lush fruit character and effortless drinkability.

Appearance. Color is a deep straw with a persistent, rocky, white meringue-like head that leaves substantial lacing. The beer is opaque with a characteristic hazy shine, free of large particulates or yeast clumps.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent notes of mango, pineapple, and tangerine. Background malt is lightly bready and grainy, providing a neutral canvas. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters and no clashing phenols.

Taste. High fruity hop flavors mirroring the aroma with peach and passionfruit notes. Malt flavor is low and bready. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and well-integrated into the full body. The finish is smooth and off-dry, leaving a lingering tropical hop impression without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, smooth, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present, but the beer remains free of astringency or raw grain harshness.
