NEIPA - New England IPA 6 º 35 IBU

Cohones Brewery

Celebrating the transition from the corporate grind to personal relaxation, this Hazy IPA pours with a vibrant, opaque glow reminiscent of a golden sunset. The aroma is an intense bouquet of tropical fruit and bright citrus, suggesting a lush canopy of mango and pineapple over a soft, grainy malt foundation. On the palate, the hop-forward character delivers a juicy explosion of stone fruits and passion fruit without the sharp bite of traditional IPAs. With its medium-full, pillowy body and restrained bitterness, this beer offers a smooth, refreshing finish that perfectly encapsulates the celebratory, stress-free philosophy of its namesake.

Appearance. Color is a deep straw to light orange (5-6 SRM). The beer is distinctly hazy and opaque with a luminous shine. It features a thick, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and dense lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of mango, pineapple, and peach. A clean, lightly bready and grainy malt character sits in the background. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters that do not clash with the hops.

Taste. High to very high fruity hop flavors of pineapple, citrus zest, and stone fruit. Malt flavor is low to medium, providing a soft, bready backdrop. Perceived bitterness is moderate but masked by a full body, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish without any harsh hop bite.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, pillowy body with a soft, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and an absence of any astringency or raw starchiness.
