NEIPA - New England IPA 9.5 º

Garage Beer Co

Stripfire is a lush Double IPA that captures the essence of a tropical grove through a masterful combination of Citra and Idaho 7 hops. These varieties deliver a vivid sensory experience characterized by intense bursts of tinned pineapple and zesty lemon. A substantial addition of oats and wheat provides a luxurious, soft texture that carries heavy notes of ripe mango and a subtle, resinous dankness on the finish. At 9.5% ABV, it presents a smooth, integrated warmth that complements its juicy profile. This beer balances modern hop intensity with a velvety mouthfeel, resulting in a complex yet remarkably approachable powerhouse.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (7-11 SRM). Large, persistent white head with excellent lacing. Displays a characteristic haze due to the high protein content from oats and wheat.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by tropical fruit notes of ripe mango and pineapple, accented by sharp lemon zest and a hint of herbal resin. A supportive, bready, and grainy malt character sits in the background. Clean fermentation profile with a soft, integrated alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression of intense tropical fruit. Strong Citra influence brings citrus and mango flavors, while Idaho 7 contributes lemon and a distinct, dank herbal quality. Bitterness is firm but smooth, lacking any harshness. Low, clean, soft malt character supports the hops. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering hoppy and fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy, and luxurious texture derived from the oat and wheat additions. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but restrained alcohol warmth that remains smooth. No hop-derived astringency.
