Wild Barrel Brewing Hop Obsession
NEIPA - New England IPA 7.8 º
Hop Obsession is a potent Hazy IPA that showcases a massive double dry hopping of Simcoe and Amarillo. At 7.8% ABV, it presents a saturated sensory profile led by Simcoe's signature passionfruit and earthy pine, intertwined with the vibrant orange zest and floral notes of Amarillo. The experience is defined by a lush, juicy intensity where stone fruit and tropical character dominate a soft, bready malt backdrop. Its mouthfeel is notably supple, smoothing out the moderate bitterness to emphasize a fruit-forward finish. This is a bold, modern expression of the style, balancing high-impact hop oils with a smooth, approachable drinkability.
Appearance. Straw to light amber (approx. 5 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that provides a luminous shine. It is topped by a dense, white, meringue-like head with high retention and significant lacing.
Aroma. Intensity is high, featuring a complex blend of tropical passionfruit, ripe stone fruit, and bright orange citrus. A supporting low, bready, and grainy malt character exists in the background. Fermentation is clean with neutral esters that do not distract from the hops.
Taste. High fruity hop flavor mirroring the aroma with layers of tangerine, peach, and tropical fruit. Malt flavor is low but supportive, offering a flour-like or bready foundation. Bitterness is low to medium, perceived as soft and well-integrated. The finish is off-dry and clean, with a lingering fruit-forward aftertaste and no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture and no astringency. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the 7.8% ABV without being hot or fusel.
