White IPA 6.2 º 45 IBU

Norm Brewing

Norm Brewing’s Nowness is a sophisticated Wheat IPA that utilizes a substantial 45% wheat malt base to provide a soft, bready foundation. Departing from typical tropical profiles, it features a blend of Loral, Hallertau Blanc, and Ariana hops, which impart elegant notes of white grape, stone fruit, and citrus. These fruit layers are balanced by a distinctively floral, resinous, and earthy spice. Fermented with Sanders yeast, the beer maintains a clean profile that emphasizes its complex hop character. The result is a refreshing, hop-forward experience with a smooth, slightly creamy texture and a crisp, dry finish.

Appearance. 3–7 SRM. Pale gold to light amber with a persistent, creamy white head and excellent lacing. Notable haze present due to the high wheat content.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent floral lavender and honeysuckle notes, combined with white grape, gooseberry, and light stone fruit. A supportive bready, grainy wheat malt character sits underneath. Clean fermentation with very low esters.

Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with citrus zest and white wine flavors. Medium-low grainy-sweet malt provides a bready backbone. Hop bitterness is firm and clean, supported by resinous, earthy, and spicy hop flavors. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering floral and citrus aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a characteristic creaminess and softness from the wheat protein. Moderate to high carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth and no harsh astringency.
