NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º 15 IBU

Burlington Beer Company

This Hazy IPA captures a luminous character through its use of raw wheat and chit malt, which build a specifically soft and extra fluffy foundation for the hop profile. Intense aromas of papaya and grapefruit lead the sensory experience, transitioning into a palate rich with orange marmalade and a contrasting undercurrent of dank pine. The beer presents a golden, glowing haze that reflects its namesake, balancing fruity esters and New World hop intensity with a restrained bitterness. Each sip reveals a plush texture, where the subtle graininess of the malt supports a lingering finish of citrus zest and tropical fruit.

Appearance. Luminous golden color (5-6 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that creates a characteristic glow. It is topped by a dense, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring prominent tropical notes of ripe papaya and citrusy grapefruit. A supporting layer of dank pine and orange marmalade provides complexity. Malt character is low and bready with a clean, neutral fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit and citrus. Flavors of orange marmalade and papaya dominate the mid-palate, followed by a resinous pine finish. Bitterness is low-to-moderate but smooth, never harsh. Malt provides a light, grainy sweetness that balances the hop-derived fruitiness with an off-dry finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable fluffy and soft texture derived from the high protein grist. Moderate carbonation with no astringency or harshness. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
