Nautile has teamed up with the Fusion brewery to create a Double New England IPA that is as intense as it is velvety. This beer showcases a modern, generous, and heavily hopped profile, designed for fans of bold, hazy IPAs with a full-bodied texture. As a Double NEIPA, it fits perfectly into the world of contemporary hop-forward beers: offering plenty of body, lovely roundness, expressive fruitiness, and a soft, enveloping mouthfeel. Careful recipe development has resulted in a dense, juicy beer that is exceptionally enjoyable to drink, despite its significant alcohol content.

Draught @ Hoppy Craft, St Omer. Pours a pale golden yellow, white head. Fresh, floral and relatively light for a DIPA.. lacks the full bodied velvety mouthfeel proffered by the description, so marked down for that. Pretty good for what it is, though would've said this was 5% not 8%.
