McLeod's Brewery 802#68
NEIPA - New England IPA 6.8 º
McLeod's 802#68 is a vibrant Hazy IPA that serves as a global showcase of berry-forward hop profiles. Earthy Bramling Cross provides a foundation of dark berry notes and a bready, Shrewsbury biscuit-like malt presence. The experience intensifies as Superdelic introduces a bright burst of blackcurrant oils, while Simcoe rounds out the profile with its signature pine and raspberry resin. Despite the complex hop layering, the beer maintains the style’s hallmark softness, presenting a lush, opaque pour. The interplay of classic English charm, New Zealand energy, and American boldness creates a deeply layered fruit character that transitions from juicy forest fruits to a clean, resinous finish.
Appearance. Straw to light amber with a distinct orange hue; opaque haze with a luminous shine. Topped by a medium-high, rocky white head with excellent retention and lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by a complex berry medley: blackcurrant, dark forest fruits, and raspberry. Significant resinous pine notes follow, supported by a low, grainy, bready malt character and clean fermentation profile.
Taste. High fruity hop flavor featuring sharp blackcurrant and earthy dark berries over a bready, biscuit-like malt base. Initial impression is juicy and lush, followed by a mid-palate of raspberry and pine resin. Bitterness is moderate but smooth, leading to an off-dry, fruit-forward finish without any lingering harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth and zero astringency, providing a rounded and approachable mouthfeel.
