NEIPA - New England IPA 5.5 º 20 IBU

Mountains Walking Brewery

Light Dusting presents as a quintessential Hazy IPA, emphasizing a lush, fruit-forward profile built on a foundation of Montana-grown oats from Gallatin Valley Malt and a dash of wheat. The interplay of Idaho 7 and Mosaic hops delivers an intense, sensory-rich nose dominated by fresh pineapple juice and supported by a subtle, underlying dankness. These specific hop varieties drive a complex bouquet of tropical fruit that carries through the palate. Despite its moderate strength, the inclusion of flaked grains ensures a soft, pillowy texture and a smooth mouthfeel. This expression balances vibrant hop saturation with a gentle bitterness, finishing with a clean, tropical linger.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, pale gold with a soft, opaque sheen that catches the light. It supports a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with exceptional retention and intricate lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity burst of tropical fruit led by notes of fresh pineapple juice and ripe mango, courtesy of Idaho 7 and Mosaic hops. A distinctive but light dankness adds complexity to the hop-forward profile. In the background, a clean, grainy, and lightly bready malt character from the oats and wheat provides a soft foundation, accompanied by subtle fruity esters.

Taste. The palate is flooded with high-intensity flavors of pineapple and tropical citrus. A low, grainy malt sweetness from the oats provides a supportive structure without becoming cloying. Perceived bitterness is moderate and exceptionally smooth, never harsh or astringent. The finish is soft and off-dry, leaving a lingering impression of tropical fruit juice and a faint, resinous dankness.

Mouthfeel. The body is medium-full with a notably soft, pillowy texture derived from the high proportion of flaked grains. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth and refreshing mouthfeel. There is no discernible alcohol warmth or astringency, ensuring high drinkability and a round, gentle finish.
