NEIPA - New England IPA 11 º

Pühaste

Tähesadu is a formidable Double IPA that showcases an intense aromatic punch from triple dry-hopping with Strata, Vic Secret, Nelson Sauvin, and Citra. The sensory profile is a saturated tapestry of tropical intensity, featuring ripe passionfruit and juicy pineapple layered over sophisticated notes of white wine and crushed gooseberry. Despite its 11% strength, the malt remains a clean, supportive backdrop of light grain, allowing the resinous dankness and bright citrus zest to lead. This is an aggressively hoppy experience that balances high bitterness with a smooth, warming finish, exemplifying the bold, modern evolution of the style.

Appearance. Gold to light orange-copper (8 SRM) with a slight haze from the heavy dry-hop load. Features a moderate-sized, persistent off-white head with fine lacing and good retention.

Aroma. High to intense hop aroma featuring prominent notes of passionfruit, strawberry, and crushed gooseberry. Layered scents of pineapple, white grape, and grapefruit zest dominate, supported by a neutral, grainy malt background. Clean fermentation profile with a noticeable but smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial surge of tropical flavors—pineapple and passionfruit—followed by nuanced white wine and citrus oil. Bitterness is high but smooth, avoiding harshness. Low, supportive bready malt character provides balance without residual sweetness. The finish is dry to medium-dry, leaving a lingering hop resin and citrus peel aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A clear and warming alcohol presence is felt, though it remains integrated. No hop-derived astringency.
