NEIPA - New England IPA 7.5 º

St. Laurentius

This Hazy IPA delivers a lush, tropical sensory experience centered on a specific hop blend of Krush, Strata, and Riwaka. It greets the nose with intense aromatics of overripe passion fruit and bright citrus, underscored by a signature dank resinous quality. The palate is defined by a juicy core where the Strata hops contribute notes of strawberry and passion fruit, while Riwaka adds a sharp, tropical punch and lime zest. A soft, pillowy mouthfeel provides a smooth canvas for these complex layers, finishing with restrained bitterness and a lingering fruity brightness that elegantly masks the 7.5% ABV.

Appearance. Straw to light amber (4-6 SRM) with a characteristic opaque, luminous haze that creates a distinct 'shine.' The beer is topped by a thick, rocky, white meringue-like head with excellent retention and lacing.

Aroma. High-intensity hop aroma featuring dominant tropical fruit, passion fruit, and citrus notes. The use of Krush and Strata hops introduces a complex layer of stone fruit and a subtle, dank herbal character. Low malt presence of clean, bready, and grainy notes sits in the background without any toasted or caramel notes.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of juicy tropical fruit and citrus zest. The Krush hops provide peach-like stone fruit flavors, while Riwaka contributes intense lime and grapefruit. Malt flavor is low and neutral-grainy. Perceived bitterness is low-to-moderate and very smooth, never sharp. The finish is off-dry and fruit-forward with a clean fermentation character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present but subtle, contributing to a dangerously drinkable character without any harshness or astringency.
