NEIPA - New England IPA 5 º

La Nébuleuse

Chela 2022 presents as a vibrant, sessionable Hazy IPA, prioritizing refreshment and tropical intensity. The appearance is a luminous, opaque pale gold topped by a persistent, meringue-like white head. The aroma offers a saturated bouquet of crushed pineapple, ripe mango, and passion fruit, perfectly capturing its tropical NEIPA profile. On the palate, the hop-forward character mirrors the nose, supported by a soft, bready malt base that provides structure without cloying sweetness. The mouthfeel is notably smooth and medium-bodied despite the lower ABV, with a gentle, restrained bitterness that ensures a clean, juicy finish. It balances high drinkability with a punchy, fruit-focused complexity.

Appearance. Pale gold to light orange (4-6 SRM). Opaque, hazy appearance with a soft shine. Tall, rocky, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant tropical fruit notes of crushed pineapple, ripe mango, and guava. Background notes of citrus zest and a hint of stone fruit. Malt is low, presenting as light bready or grainy wheat. Clean fermentation profile with supporting fruity esters.

Taste. Massively hop-forward with flavors of passion fruit, papaya, and tangerine. Bitterness is low to moderate, perceived as soft rather than sharp. Malt provides a neutral, bready foundation. Finishes off-dry to medium with a lingering juicy fruit character and no hop harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. Very smooth with no alcohol warmth and no astringency.
