NEIPA - New England IPA 9.8 º

FrauGruber Brewing

Tokyo Spliff is a powerhouse Double IPA that showcases an explosive tropical and vinous hop character. Hand-selected Citra BBC drives bold notes of grapefruit and lime, while Nectaron adds layers of ripe passionfruit and juicy peach. The addition of Enigma introduces complex nuances of Pinot Gris grapes and red currants. At 9.8% ABV, the beer carries a smooth, warming strength that remains remarkably drinkable. It balances high bitterness with a clean, neutral malt backbone, finishing dry with a lingering resinous intensity and deep fruit saturation that defines modern interpretations of this high-gravity style.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange in color with a slight, modern haze. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent passionfruit, grapefruit, and stone fruit. Nuances of white grape, raspberry, and light resin are supported by a clean, neutral, grainy malt background and a faint, smooth alcohol note.

Taste. Initial impression is a surge of tropical and citrus hop flavors including peach, lime, and melon. Bitterness is high but well-integrated and lacks harshness. A low, soft malt character allows the hops to dominate. The finish is dry to medium-dry with a lingering, clean hoppy aftertaste and a touch of fruit esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. A noticeable but restrained and smooth alcohol warmth is present, without any hop-derived astringency.
