Widowmaker Brewing Lil Comet 2023
NEIPA - New England IPA 4.5 º
This session-strength Hazy IPA punches well above its weight, delivering a vibrant sensory experience despite its approachable alcohol content. Inspired by its larger predecessor, the beer presents a lush bouquet of tropical fruit. Distinctive notes of sweet mango and tangy passion fruit lead the charge, supported by a delicate, fuzzy peach undertone. The smaller grain bill provides a clean, lightly bready foundation that allows the massive hop profile to remain the focal point. With a signature soft mouthfeel and restrained bitterness, this vibrant ale offers a bright, juicy profile that remains remarkably drinkable, showcasing the tropical intensity of New World hops.
Appearance. Straw to light gold (3-4 SRM). Opaque with a characteristic hazy shine. Topped by a dense, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick lacing.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by tropical fruit aromatics of ripe mango and passion fruit. Secondary notes of stone fruit, specifically fresh peach. Malt is low and neutral, presenting as light crackers or fresh dough. No detectable alcohol or phenolic esters.
Taste. Immediate impact of tropical fruit juice. Sweet mango and tart passion fruit flavors are prominent, evolving into a soft peach character in the mid-palate. Malt flavor is low, providing a simple bready structure. Bitterness is medium-low and smooth, never sharp. The finish is clean and off-dry with a lingering tropical essence.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body, remarkably soft and smooth for the lower gravity. Carbonation is moderate. No alcohol warmth. Lacks any harsh astringency or hop burn.
