IPA - New England / Hazy Regular

Score

7.53

ABV: 6.2%

IBU: -

Ticks: 7

A New England IPA, but in a new way. After devouring lots of research on how to make truly great hazy IPAs, we've tested out some new techniques and tweaks in Breakdown - a DDH NEIPA hopped with Citra, Chinook and Mosaic. We're very happy with the results.

This 6.2% IPA stacks its fresh, clean hop profile evenly on a finely balanced, juicy malt texture. Breakdown has a massive tropical bouquet and rounded, well-defined flavours of grapefruit, mango and passionfruit.

Can. Pours hazy and with a big head. Aroma is very fruity and tropical, loads of mango, passion fruit, grapefruit and orange. Medium body, smooth and creamy. Flavour is sweet and malty, smooth, fruity and tropical, mango, passion fruit, orange, grapefruit. Lot of pine in the finish. Lovely! Super well done NEIPA, very balanced and a great hop profile.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up at the Clapton Craft. Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. Beautiful beer, lovely rounded citrus character, some juicy melon, supportive pale bread, soft rindy bitterness, a little apricot and peach, background floral notes, just a nip of dank. Light to medium bodied with delicate carbonation. Well and juicy but still well balanced in the finish. Impressive stuff.

Can from Beer Zoo. Milky golden body with a thick off-white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of pineapple, waxed lemon, custard and pine. Flavour of Twister ice-lolly and starfruit. Medium body with a foamy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A sensational IPA, great hop combination. I loved every sip.
