IPA - India Pale Ale 4.5 º 31 IBU

Neumann

Neumann Chipa Ale delivers a spirited take on the American IPA, expertly balancing a punchy hop profile with the sharp, culinary snap of chili peppers. Despite its lower alcohol content, the beer maintains a bold sensory presence where resinous pine and zesty citrus hop notes dominate the foreground. The inclusion of chilies provides a distinctive capsicum aroma and a clean, building heat that dovetails into the firm hop bitterness. A restrained, grainy malt base provides just enough support to prevent the spice from overwhelming, resulting in a crisp, dry finish characterized by a lingering peppery tingle.

Appearance. Medium gold and brilliant clarity, featuring a medium-sized white head with good persistence and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop character with prominent notes of grapefruit, pine resin, and faint tropical fruit. A clean, spicy chili pepper aroma is distinct but integrated, supported by low, grainy-sweet malt and a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Leading with high hop flavors of citrus and resin, the palate quickly introduces a medium-high bitterness. A noticeable chili heat develops mid-palate, providing a spicy complexity. The malt remains low and grainy with a hint of toast. The finish is dry and crisp, with a lingering bitterness and a soft peppery sting.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, crisp texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A light, building warmth is present, specifically attributed to the chili peppers rather than ethanol.
