New England Style IPA
Bright citrus juice and pith, light bread and toast.
Our version of the NEIPA is simple, straightforward American 2-Row for base fermentable, flaked oats and Four Star Farms grown malted wheat for body and mouthfeel. There are no boil additions of hops, everything is added either post whirlpool or in the dry hops using a blend of Crystal, Centennial, Chaos, and Cascade for a bright citrus flavor and aroma. This beer is double dry hopped meaning that we do a first round of dry hopping while the beer is actively fermenting and follow with a second round at the end of fermentation.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you buddy. Aroma shows candied orange, soft grain, a little bit of pine. The candied citrus with the soft, herbal pine is backed by a nice bread like malt backbone. Very low bitterness for balance. It’s respectable.

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. It's a cloudy orange-dark yellow with light sparkle, lots of fine particulates, finger-width foam head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong candied lemon and orange. Taste is candied citrus from aroma along with a dank, piney bitter back end. Smooth, creamy texture with soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering bitterness and yeast. Flavor is a bit creamsicle-like but finish runs counter to that. OK. Decent first exposure to the brewer.

Draught at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Hazy, pale-brass-golden. Small, thick, white head, moderate retention. Peppery, lightly dank, slightly piney hops in the nose, with the seemingly malt-less character of 4 Star (just bland dough). Hints of juicy citrus, somewhat fleeting. Clean, no resin, bubble gum, other flaw, alcohol. But again, in the flavor, there's just so little there. The hops are peppery, citrusy, minimally flavorful and there's just no malt depth. All chewy texture, zero sweetness/maltiness. Too much bitterness on the finish, as well.
