NEIPA - New England IPA 5.9 º 69 IBU

Hornbeer

Hornbeer’s BREXIT is a provocative take on the Hazy IPA, characterized by a striking balance between modern juice-forward aesthetics and a classic, biting finish. It presents a vibrant, opaque straw-colored body topped with a dense, meringue-like white head. The sensory profile is led by an intense citrus hop character, offering clear notes of fresh orange peel and lemon zest. While the aroma remains soft and bready, the palate delivers a surprisingly firm bitterness—a purposeful departure from the style’s typical softness—which cuts through the medium-bodied, smooth mouthfeel for a crisp, lingering finish. It successfully marries New England-style fruitiness with a defiant, assertive bitterness.

Appearance. Color is straw to very light amber (4–6 SRM) with a high degree of opacity and a characteristic hazy shine. Supports a medium-sized, rocky, white head with very high retention and substantial lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent citrus qualities such as lemon and orange; no grassy or herbal notes are present. Background malt is low, presenting as clean, neutral, and lightly bready. Fermentation character is neutral, ensuring the hop-derived fruitiness remains the focus.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the citrus aroma. Low bready malt flavor provides a subtle foundation. Unlike many in the style, this example features a moderate-high perceived bitterness that is firm but not harsh. The finish is off-dry and clean, with a lingering, crisp hop character in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, soft texture that avoids being viscous or heavy. Carbonation is moderate. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, with no astringency despite the elevated bitterness.
