Fire Maker Brewing Company Hazed & Blazed
NEIPA - New England IPA 7.2 º
This gold medal-winning Hazy IPA offers a vibrant, juice-forward experience characterized by a saturated hop profile. Intense aromatics of tropical stone fruit and mixed berries from Mosaic and El Dorado lead the way, while Lemondrop adds a bright, zesty citrus lift. The malt base is supportive and bready, providing a plush foundation for the juicy hit promised by the brewers. At 7.2% ABV, it maintains a soft, approachable character with restrained bitterness and a smooth, pillowy mouthfeel. The finish is clean and fruit-focused, showcasing the depth of modern New World hops in a classic, hazy, and highly drinkable presentation.
Appearance. Pours a deep straw to golden-yellow color (approx. 5 SRM) with a high degree of opacity and a luminous haze. Topped by a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head that exhibits excellent retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by a lush tropical and citrus hop character. Notes of ripe mango, peach, and blueberry are complemented by a sharp, fresh lemon zest. The malt presence is moderate-low and clean, suggesting flaked grains and bready wheat. Fermentation is clean with supportive, light fruity esters that blend seamlessly with the hop profile.
Taste. The initial palate is a burst of juicy tropical fruit, specifically pineapple and candied stone fruit, alongside a distinct lemon-citrus brightness. Malt flavor is low and bready, providing a soft backdrop without any caramel sweetness. Bitterness is low to medium-low, well-integrated and never harsh. The finish is off-dry and lingering with a massive fruity aftertaste and a clean fermentation character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to the beer's fullness without being prickly. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength, but no harshness or hop astringency.
