Our brewers developed this recipe for more than a year; playing around with yeast strains and hop combinations in search of a smooth, juicy offering that pleases palates. With VT IPA they found the perfect balance of tropical fruit and citrus flavors through a heavy dry-hopping of Citra and Amarillo hops, which give distinct tangerine, mango, pineapple and grapefruit character.

The juicy hop profile is complemented by the grist, which features a heavy hand of flaked oats and aromatic Munich malt to deliver a smooth mouthfeel and hazy appearance. What sets this beer apart --aside from the soft bitterness-- is the introduction of a new yeast strain that provides the beer with more neutral notes and juicy esters that enhance the hops.

Enjoy it fresh, enjoy it often.

Gold with a foamy, white head. Citrus, juniper, fruit-candy aroma. Taste is bitter with strong menthol undertones. Finishes much the same, mildly citric, with more menthol. At the very end, a sudden cereal bitterness more reminiscent of Helles. Medium-bodied , moderate carbonation, dry, too rough and unbalanced to feel refreshing. Drinkable though, says the Frau.

Can bought at Kerrera, Guildford. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Porridge. Hazy orange. Thick foamy white head. Combines stone fruit juiciness with a big resinous streak. A dryness to it. Medium bodied. Slick. Pithy. In fact, there's a chalky residue. Average carbonation. Enjoyable. Decent NEIPA.

Can from HoTM. It pours cloudy bright orange with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, bright, fanta, orange marmalade sandwiches, tangerine, mango, passion fruit and pine needles. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, prickly pine needles, green edge, pithy, zesty, pink grapefruit, bitter orange, campari, pomelo, peppery spice, biscuity malt and a nip of alcohol. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent elements to it for sure. Bigger malt base than expected. Not bad overall, but I would have preferred it cleaner.
