NEIPA - New England IPA 7.2 º

Croma Beer Co.

Croma Moonlight is a luminous Hazy IPA that exemplifies the modern "juicy" profile through an intensive double dry-hop of Simcoe and Idaho 7 Cryo. These specific hop varieties create an explosive sensory experience, where Simcoe provides layers of ripe passion fruit and bright citrus, while the Idaho 7 Cryo contributes deep, concentrated notes of sweet pineapple and stone fruit. The aromatic intensity is matched by a soft, plush body that carries the tropical fruit flavors across the palate with restrained bitterness. This beer focuses on hop saturation and biotransformation, resulting in a vibrant, opaque pour that finishes with a clean, fruity persistence and elegant smoothness.

Appearance. Color is a pale straw to light gold (4 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that provides a characteristic sheen. It features a medium-sized, rocky, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with an immediate burst of tropical pineapple, passion fruit, and mango. Significant citrus notes of grapefruit and orange are present, supported by a subtle, clean, bready malt background. Fermentation esters are fruity and well-integrated with the hop-forward profile.

Taste. High to very high fruity hop flavors dominated by pineapple, peach, and citrus. The malt flavor is low and neutral, providing a grainy foundation for the hops. Bitterness is low to medium-low, well-masked by the fuller body, leading to a soft, off-dry finish. The aftertaste is clean with a lingering tropical fruit character and no hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, soft, and somewhat creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its 7.2% strength, but no astringency or raw starch texture.
