NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º

Sloop Brewing Co.

This Hazy IPA delivers a vibrant, juice-forward experience defined by the heavy-hitting combination of Citra and Mosaic hops. The sensory profile is an explosion of tropical fruit, where bright grapefruit and lime zest from the Citra blend seamlessly with the signature blueberry and ripe tangerine qualities of Mosaic. These intense hop oils create a depth of character reminiscent of fresh stone fruit over a soft, bready malt foundation. With its characteristic opacity and a restrained, gentle bitterness, the beer emphasizes a smooth, pillowy approachability that showcases modern hop biotransformation. It remains highly drinkable with a clean, fruit-laden finish.

Appearance. Hazy, straw-gold to light orange with an opaque shine. Features a dense, meringue-like white head with high retention and delicate lacing. No visible particulates or yeast clumps.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of mango, papaya, and crushed pineapple. The Citra hops contribute bright grapefruit and lime zest, while Mosaic adds subtle earthy blueberry and ripe peach. Malt is low and bready, serving as a neutral backdrop.

Taste. Massive tropical fruit and citrus flavors dominate the initial impression. Notes of tangerine and sweet stone fruit lead into a mild, integrated bitterness that lacks any harshness. The malt character is grainy and soft. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering juicy fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably soft, pillowy texture. Carbonation is moderate, enhancing the smoothness without being prickly. No significant alcohol warmth or astringency.
