Sloop Brewing Co. Aluminum Army
NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º
This Hazy IPA presents an intense, fruit-driven profile characteristic of Sloop's specialized approach to modern hopping. The inclusion of malted oats and flaked oats creates a substantial, soft foundation that carries vibrant aromatics of tangy passion fruit and nostalgic, sugary cereal reminiscent of Fruity Pebbles. The sensory experience is defined by its opacity and a juicy saturation of tropical hop oils. On the palate, the hop intensity is high but remains approachable, balanced by a restrained bitterness and an off-dry, smooth finish. It is a lush, vibrant expression of the style, focusing entirely on fruit-forward hop saturation and a pillowy texture.
Appearance. Color ranges from straw to light orange-gold; hazy and opaque with a characteristic shine. Features a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by passion fruit, tropical citrus, and sweet cereal notes. A clean, bready, and grainy malt character from the oats supports the hops, alongside a neutral to lightly fruity ester profile.
Taste. High fruity hop flavor featuring passion fruit and citrusy tropical notes. Low to medium-high perceived bitterness that is soft rather than sharp. The malt provides a bready, supportive backbone without caramel, finishing off-dry and smooth with a lingering fruit-forward aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, silky mouthfeel and no astringency. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle lift, and there is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
