NEIPA - New England IPA 6.2 º 45 IBU

Zavod

This Hazy IPA centers its sensory profile on a lush, saturated hop character driven by Amarillo, Citra, and Talus. The experience opens with a vibrant burst of tropical intensity, weaving together notes of ripe mango, pink grapefruit, and a distinct floral-citrus brightness. A background of soft, grainy malt provides a neutral canvas for the massive fruit expression. On the palate, the hop-forward profile remains juicy and smooth, supported by a gentle, pillowy mouthfeel that masks a restrained bitterness. The finish is clean and off-dry, leaving a lingering essence of sun-ripened stone fruit and delicate resinous pine.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze that creates a luminous glow. Topped by a dense, meringue-like white head with excellent retention and thick, sculpted lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by a complex blend of mango, passionfruit, and grapefruit peel from Amarillo and Citra. Talus adds unique notes of dried rose and sage. Malt is low and bready; fermentation is clean with subtle fruity esters.

Taste. Explodes with tropical and citrus hop flavors. Moderate-low bready malt flavor follows. Perceived bitterness is low to medium-low, finishing soft rather than sharp. Features a lingering fruit-skin aftertaste with an off-dry, smooth finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy texture. Moderate carbonation. No astringency or harshness. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth at 6.2% ABV adds to the smooth drinkability.
