Outer Range Brewing Co. The Goat
NEIPA - New England IPA 6.7 º
This Hazy IPA pours with a characteristic opaque glow, delivering an intense aromatic bouquet of tropical and stone fruits. The selection of Galaxy and Motueka hops drives a vivid sensory profile of juicy peach and tropical guava, while the inclusion of Nelson Sauvin introduces a sophisticated layer of white grape and crushed gooseberry. On the palate, the experience is soft and plush, emphasizing fruit-forward depth over sharp bitterness. The malt profile remains supportive and neutral, providing a clean, grainy base that allows the complex New World hop oils to shine. A smooth, rounded finish ensures high drinkability despite its rich, fruity intensity.
Appearance. Straw to light orange (4-6 SRM) with an opaque, hazy appearance and a luminous shine. Supports a dense, white, rocky head with excellent retention and thick lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop-forward aroma featuring tropical guava, ripe peach, and distinct white grape notes from the Nelson Sauvin. Motueka adds a bright lime-citrus undertone. The malt is low and neutral, suggesting lightly bready notes, while fermentation esters are fruity and well-integrated.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit juice. High fruity hop flavors of peach and guava are supported by a subtle vinous white grape character. Bitterness is low to moderate (approximately 30-40 IBU), well-masked by a soft, pillowy body. The finish is off-dry and smooth, lacking any harsh hop burn, with a lingering fruit-skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its 6.7% ABV. No astringency or raw starchiness is present.
