NEIPA - New England IPA 6.3 º 40 IBU

Raduga

This Hazy IPA showcases the experimental X13459 hop alongside the classic Centennial variety to create a layered, modern sensory profile. On the nose, X13459 leads with an expressive bouquet of ripe strawberry, peach, and tropical mango, while Centennial adds a grounding citrus and herbal counterpoint. Fermented with Verdant IPA yeast, the beer exhibits a soft, pillowy texture and reinforced stone fruit esters. The palate is a lush, juicy experience where vibrant citrus and berry flavors merge with a subtle, bready malt base. With its moderate bitterness, the character remains smooth, allowing the complex, hop-forward notes to define the clean finish.

Appearance. Pours a deep straw to light gold with a distinct, opaque haze providing a soft shine. It is topped by a dense, white, meringue-like head with excellent retention and substantial lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring prominent notes of strawberry, peach, and tropical fruit from the X13459 hop, complemented by Centennial's citrus peel and a faint herbal touch. A neutral, lightly bready malt backbone supports the hops, alongside soft stone fruit esters from the Verdant IPA yeast.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit and ripe berries. The flavor profile follows the aroma with dominant peach and strawberry, transitioning into a pithy citrus and mild herbal finish. Malt character is low and bready. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as soft and well-integrated, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and no astringency. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a smooth, creamy texture. A very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but subtle.
