Kettlehead Brewing Duck Traffic
NEIPA - New England IPA 7.3 º
This Hazy IPA radiates a light straw color with a warm, sunny glow, signaling an explosive sensory experience. The aroma is dominated by a complex blend of Mosaic, Citra, Strata, and Sabro hops, delivering bold layers of ripe mango, fresh pineapple, and fuzzy peach. As the liquid hits the palate, passion fruit and a subtle pine essence emerge, supported by a neutral, bready malt backbone. At 7.3% ABV, the beer remains exceptionally easy to drink, offering a smooth, well-balanced profile with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. It epitomizes the juicy, hop-forward character expected of the style while maintaining a clean, refreshing finish.
Appearance. Light straw to golden (3–5 SRM). Opaque haze with a characteristic 'shine' rather than cloudiness. Large, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and persistent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring tropical fruit, stone fruit, and citrus. Specific notes of mango, pineapple, and passion fruit are prominent, alongside a light pine essence. Malt is low and neutral-grainy; no caramel or toast present. Clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Very high fruity hop flavor, echoing the aroma with peach, pineapple, and tropical citrus. Low bready malt flavor provides a supportive foundation. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft due to the full body. Finish is off-dry and smooth, lacking any harsh or grassy hop character in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Free of astringency or harshness, providing a rounded and supple mouthfeel.
