NEIPA - New England IPA 5.8 º 35 IBU

Lumberbeard Brewing

Fresh Dreams captures the essence of the hop harvest, showcasing over 300 pounds of Mosaic wet hops added just hours after being picked from the bine. This Hazy IPA radiates with a vibrant, juice-forward bouquet of tropical mango, ripe blueberry, and bright tangerine. The use of fresh, un-dried bines imparts a unique green-fruit vitality and dew-covered freshness that distinguishes it from pelletized versions. A soft, pillowy malt base provides a neutral, bready canvas that supports the hop intensity without adding distracting caramel notes. The result is a lush, saturated profile where the complex berry and stone fruit traits of Mosaic shine through a smooth, low-bitterness finish.

Appearance. Deep straw to pale gold with a vibrant, opaque haze and a luminous sheen. Features a dense, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity aromatics of tropical mango, mixed berries, and stone fruit. A clean, lightly bready malt background supports the hops, while fermentation esters remain neutral to slightly fruity, complementing the Mosaic profile without any grassy or herbal notes.

Taste. High fruity hop flavors of tangerine, blueberry, and papaya dominate the palate. The malt presence is low to medium-low, offering a faint grainy sweetness. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as low due to the soft texture, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish with a lingering juicy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture and moderate carbonation. There is no alcohol warmth or astringency, providing a smooth and creamy mouthfeel that avoids being heavy or viscous.
