NEIPA - New England IPA 7 º 40 IBU

Naparbier

Naparbier Always serves as a masterclass in the hybrid "East meets West" philosophy, presenting a luminous, opaque golden pour typical of a Hazy IPA. The aromatic profile is defined by a sophisticated blend of Centennial and Citra, delivering waves of pink grapefruit, tangerine, and lemon zest. Loral adds a delicate floral and herbal nuance, while Comet provides a bright, "wild" lime character. On the palate, the soft, velvety body carries intense flavors of stone fruit and melon, culminating in a cleaner, firmer bitterness than most hazy examples. This intentional balance ensures a highly sessionable finish despite the robust 7% ABV.

Appearance. SRM 4-6. Straw to deep gold with a persistent, dense, meringue-like white head that leaves significant lacing. Uniformly hazy and opaque with a soft, luminous sheen, devoid of large particulates or yeast clumps.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by a complex hop bouquet featuring prominent notes of grapefruit and orange peel. Loral contributes a moderate floral and peppery herbal quality, while Comet provides a zesty, lime-like citrus punch. Background malt is low, offering a clean, bready, and slightly grainy sweetness without caramel notes. Esters are moderate and fruity.

Taste. High hop flavor follows the aroma with a mix of ripe tropical fruit, tangerine, and a floral, herbal undertone. The bitterness is moderate—firmer than a typical New England variant but smoother than a West Coast IPA—providing a clean, crisp counterpoint to the soft malt. The malt flavor is low, providing a neutral, grainy foundation. The finish is off-dry and lingering with a refreshing hop-driven aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, reflecting its 7% ABV. It avoids any harsh astringency or raw starchiness, maintaining a smooth, approachable feel.
