NEIPA - New England IPA 6.7 º 40 IBU

Pulfer Brewery

This Hazy IPA presents as an explosive 'tropical bomb' defined by its intense New Zealand and American hop profile. The use of Nectaron drives a lush foundation of bursting pineapple and ripe stone fruits, while Citra contributes bright, sharp citrus layers. Idaho7 adds a complex dimension to the bouquet with its signature dank and slightly spicy touch. The overall experience is remarkably 'juicy,' prioritizing massive hop aromatics and flavor over aggressive bitterness. The result is a vibrant, soft-textured ale with a focus on fresh fruit expression and high drinkability.

Appearance. Light gold (5 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that provides a characteristic 'shine.' Features a dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and persistent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aromatics featuring vivid crushed pineapple, passion fruit, and peach. Supportive notes of grapefruit zest and a resinous, dank spiciness follow. Malt is neutral and lightly grainy with no caramel or toast presence.

Taste. High fruity hop flavors echoing the aroma with ripe pineapple and stone fruit dominance. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and smooth, balancing an off-dry finish. A clean, bready malt backbone supports the intense hop oils without clashing.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notably soft, smooth texture and no astringency. Carbonation is moderate. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the overall richness.
