NEIPA - New England IPA 9 º

Funky Fluid

Green Valley is a lush, high-intensity Triple New England IPA that showcases a sophisticated hop profile through a collaboration with Yakima Chief Hops. The use of Sabro and HBC 472 introduces a unique creaminess and subtle woody character, reminiscent of coconut and soft cedar, which intermingles with the bright citrus and floral notes of Amarillo. Idaho 7 adds layers of ripe tropical fruit and zesty pine. Despite its 9% ABV, the malt profile remains supportive and soft, providing a velvety canvas for the massive dry-hop additions. The result is a complex, juice-forward experience that balances a gentle bitterness with a decadent, pillowy finish characteristic of modern hazy strong ales.

Appearance. Deep gold to light orange (6-8 SRM). Opaque and hazy with a thick, creamy, persistent white head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent coconut and tropical fruit from Sabro, citrus zest from Amarillo, and pineapple from Idaho 7. HBC 472 contributes a unique woody, vanilla-like spice. Supportive neutral, bready malt in the background with moderate fruity fermentation esters.

Taste. A complex hop-forward profile led by tangerine, mango, and stone fruit. Sabro provides a creamy coconut mid-palate, while Idaho 7 adds a resinous pine depth. Malt flavor is soft and doughy. Bitterness is moderate but smooth, lacking harshness. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering tropical fruit and light woody aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a velvety, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, well-integrated into the substantial body without being solventy.
