NEIPA - New England IPA 5.2 º

Gloucester Brewery

This Hazy IPA presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by an intense tropical fruit character. The heavy use of Citra and Mosaic hops drives a primary aroma of ripe mango and passion fruit, while El Dorado and Ekuanot contribute layers of sweet pineapple and stone fruit. The fragrance is punchy and saturated, leading into a flavor profile where lush fruitiness dominates over an almost imperceptible bitterness. A foundation of soft, bready malt supports the hop intensity without adding heaviness. The mouthfeel is notably rounded and plush, creating a juice-like experience that finishes clean and invitingly fruit-forward.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (SRM 4) with a significant, opaque haze and a luminous shine. It is topped by a persistent, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of tropical fruit, specifically mango and pineapple, alongside bright citrus zest. Background malt is clean and lightly bready; fermentation esters are fruity and well-integrated with the hop-derived notes.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor with dominant impressions of peach, melon, and citrus. Malt flavor is low and bready, serving only to balance the hops. Perceived bitterness is very low, contributing to a juicy character. The finish is off-dry and smooth, with a lingering fruit-forward aftertaste and no hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a characteristically soft, rounded, and pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. It lacks any astringency, acidic twang, or harsh alcohol warmth, providing a smooth and creamy sensation.
