NEIPA - New England IPA 5.4 º 8 IBU

Peak Drift Brewing Company

Peak Drift Brewing Company offers a vibrant, juice-forward Hazy IPA characterized by a distinct tropical brightness. The heavy addition of wheat and oats creates a notably soft, luxurious texture that serves as a plush canvas for the intense hop profile. Expect a concentrated sensory wave of fresh-squeezed orange juice, zesty lime, and succulent passionfruit. While leaning into a more sessionable strength at 5.4% ABV, it maintains a lush sensory depth. The fermentation character is clean and supportive, allowing the New World hop flavors to lead toward a gentle, off-dry finish that emphasizes approachable drinkability over aggressive, resinous bitterness.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (3-5 SRM). Hazy and opaque with a characteristic shine; no visible particulates. Massive, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring dominant notes of orange juice, lime zest, and passionfruit. Malt character is low and bready, suggesting fresh wheat. Clean fermentation profile with very light, supportive esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor of juicy orange, tart lime, and tropical passionfruit. Malt flavor is low to medium-low, presenting as soft, grainy bread. Low to medium-low perceived bitterness that is well-masked by the grain bill. Finish is smooth, off-dry, and clean with a lingering fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy, soft, and pillowy texture from the oats and wheat. Moderate carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth. Completely smooth with no hop harshness or astringency.
