NEIPA - New England IPA 5.5 º

SALT

This golden Hazy IPA presents an invitingly juicy profile defined by a deliberate trio of Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo hops. The aroma is highly expressive, leading with distinctive lemon sherbet and fragrant lemon verbena notes. On the palate, the hop-forward character translates into layers of tropical and citrus fruit, supported by a subtle, grainy malt backbone. The finish is characterized by a soft, pithy bitterness that balances the fruit intensity without harshness. Smooth and approachable, it exemplifies the style's emphasis on hop flavor and aroma over aggressive bitterness, providing a soft, silky texture that makes the flavor profile feel remarkably absorbent and full.

Appearance. Deep golden (SRM 5-6) with an opaque, uniform haze that provides a soft shine. Supports a medium, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus and herbal notes, specifically lemon sherbet and lemon verbena. Background malt is clean, neutral, and lightly bready, while the fermentation profile remains neutral to allow the hops to shine.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor featuring lemon, mango, and stone fruit. Malt flavor is low and grainy. Perceived bitterness is moderate but presents as a soft, pithy character rather than sharp. The finish is off-dry and smooth, with a lingering, juicy fruit aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a soft, smooth mouthfeel. Carbonation is moderate. Alcohol warmth is very light and well-integrated. No astringency or raw starch texture is present.
