NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º 25 IBU

Le Ketch

This Hazy IPA showcases a vibrant showcase of Nectaron hops from Freestyle Hops, delivering a saturated sensory profile of ripe nectarine, peach, and tropical passion fruit. The addition of honey weaves a delicate floral thread through the aroma, complementing the pillowy, bready malt base. It pours with a luminous, opaque haze and a dense, white head. On the palate, the intense stone fruit character is balanced by a soft, rounded mouthfeel and a restrained bitterness, finishing with a juicy, floral-tinged sweetness that invites another sip. It is an expressive and silky representation of the New England style.

Appearance. Straw to pale gold (3-6 SRM) with a deep, uniform opacity providing a luminous shine. Topped with a dense, rocky white head that shows excellent retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High-intensity aroma dominated by Nectaron hops, expressing concentrated stone fruit, specifically nectarine and peach, along with passion fruit and pineapple. A subtle, sweet floral note from the honey is present, layered over a light bready malt background. Fermentation is clean with very low esters.

Taste. Explosive stone fruit and tropical hop flavors reflect the aroma, featuring bold nectarine and citrus. The honey addition provides a floral complexity rather than overt sugar. Malt is low and bready, supporting a low to medium-low bitterness that remains soft. The finish is off-dry and juicy, with a lingering peach-like aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, silky texture and no astringency. Carbonation is moderate. A very light alcohol warmth is present, consistent with the 6.5% ABV, contributing to a smooth, rounded mouthfeel.
