NEIPA - New England IPA 6.5 º

Track Brewing Co

This Hazy IPA presents a vibrant tapestry of New World hop intensity. Nelson Sauvin provides sophisticated notes of white wine grape and tart gooseberry, while Strata adds layers of passionfruit and fresh strawberry. Mosaic rounds out the profile with a diverse array of blueberry, mango, and zesty citrus. The 6.5% ABV is hidden behind a soft, pillowy texture that carries these tropical and berry flavors across the palate. A subtle herbal finish emerges late, providing a balanced counterpoint to the juicy, fruit-forward core. It is a modern, expressive example of the style, emphasizing depth and drinkability through careful dry-hopping.

Appearance. Straw to light orange (3-6 SRM). Displays a characteristic opaque, luminous haze with a bright shine. Pours with a dense, rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring a complex blend of tropical fruit (passionfruit, pineapple), stone fruit (mango), and distinct berry notes (strawberry, blueberry). A signature aroma of Sauvignon Blanc grapes and crushed gooseberry is prominent. Malt is low, providing a neutral, lightly bready backdrop. No caramel or toast character present.

Taste. High hop flavor echoing the aroma; initial waves of lime and pineapple give way to deeper mango and berry notes. Hop bitterness is moderate but perceived as low due to the soft, full body. The finish is off-dry and juicy, ending with a light herbal character and lingering notes of white grape. Fermentation is clean with supportive fruity esters that do not clash with the hop profile.

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