NEIPA - New England IPA 7 º

Garage Project

Fresh IPA Vol. 8 showcases a vibrant, opaque pour synonymous with the Hazy IPA style. A heavy-handed dry hopping of Idaho 7 drives a tropical sensory experience, bursting with ripe pineapple, juicy mango, and a distinct apricot-led stone fruit character. The grist, featuring Ale malt, Oats, and Gladiator, creates a plush, velvety foundation that carries the hop intensity while maintaining a soft, rounded bitterness. It finishes with a refreshing, citrusy zest and a hint of pine, highlighting the "fresh" ethos of the series. The mouthfeel is creamy and substantial, delivering a lush, fruit-juice-like impression with every sip.

Appearance. Color is a pale straw to golden-orange (approx. 5 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that creates a luminous glow. It is topped by a thick, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity, saturated with tropical and stone fruit notes. Idaho 7 provides punchy pineapple and apricot aromas, complemented by subtle hints of tangerine and a faint, dank pine resin. The malt profile is clean and lightly bready, featuring a creamy, oaty sweetness in the background.

Taste. High fruity hop flavors of mango, passionfruit, and candied citrus peel dominate the palate. The Idaho 7 hops contribute a layer of stone fruit complexity. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and low-impact, balanced by a gentle bready sweetness from the Ale and Oats. The finish is smooth and off-dry, with a lingering tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, silky body with a creamy, almost luscious texture derived from the Oats and Gladiator malts. Carbonation is moderate, providing a soft sparkle that enhances the fruitiness without adding any carbonic bite or astringency. There is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
