NEIPA - New England IPA 6 º

Pyrene

Pyrene Brewing Co.’s Pacman is a quintessentially smooth Hazy IPA, designed to showcase the vibrant spectrum of Mosaic and CryoMosaic hops. It presents a saturated, opaque appearance with a lush, tropical-forward sensory profile. The nose is dominated by high-intensity notes of ripe mango, stone fruit, and blueberries, supported by a clean, bready malt base. On the palate, the hop intensity remains high but refined, offering a juicy mélange of citrus and berry flavors with a restrained, soft bitterness. The mouthfeel is notably creamy and full, facilitating a long, fruity finish that allows the complex hop oils to linger without any harshness.

Appearance. Straw to deep gold (4–6 SRM). Opaque, uniform haze with a persistent, meringue-like white head that leaves thick lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity fruity hop aroma featuring prominent mango, blueberry, and passion fruit from the Mosaic and CryoMosaic additions. Background notes of citrus zest and a hint of pine. Malt is low and neutral, presenting as fresh white bread or flour. Clean fermentation with subtle yeast esters.

Taste. Massive tropical and stone fruit hop flavors lead the palate. The Mosaic provides a complex berry and tropical profile, while the bitterness is low-to-medium and exceptionally smooth. Malt flavor is low, providing a supportive grainy-sweet foundation. The finish is off-dry and soft, with a lingering fruit-juice impression and no hop astringency.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Very smooth with no alcohol warmth or harshness. No detectable astringency from the heavy dry-hopping.
