NEIPA - New England IPA 6 º

Commonwealth Brewing Company

This Hazy IPA pours with a luminous, opaque golden glow, immediately releasing high-intensity aromas of tropical punch and sun-ripened stone fruit. The usage of Cryo Pop hops delivers a concentrated burst of pineapple and mango, while Idaho 7 contributes nuanced layers of apricot and subtle, resinous pine. On the palate, the experience is soft and pillowy, supported by a neutral, bready malt backbone that stays in the background. A restrained bitterness ensures a smooth, juice-like profile, finishing with a lingering medley of citrus zest and sweet peach. It is a vibrant, modern interpretation focused on hop saturation and drinkability.

Appearance. Color is a hazy, opaque deep gold (approx 5–6 SRM) with a luminous shine. It features a thick, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by tropical fruit (pineapple, mango) and stone fruit (apricot, peach) from Cryo Pop and Idaho 7 hops. Very light bready malt in the background. No caramel or toast. Esters are fruity and well-integrated.

Taste. Massive fruity hop flavors reflecting the tropical and stone fruit aroma. Low, grainy-sweet malt flavor. Perceived bitterness is low to moderate but soft, never sharp. The balance is heavily hop-forward with an off-dry, smooth finish. No harshness or hop burn in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Smooth mouthfeel without being overly viscous or cloying. No astringency.
