Cloudy old gold color. Aromas and flavors of orange seeds, kumquat, hints of cardamom, clove, and rye seed with a slightly chewy, lively, finely carbonated, bone-dry medium body and a warming, interesting, medium-long finish that presents notes of almond skins and toasted baguette with herb butter. A solid NEIPA that’s balanced and approachable.

New England Style IPAs, often abbreviated to NEIPA, are juicy, hazy American Style IPAs with intensely fruity, floral, hoppy flavors. They differ from other American Style IPAs in their unfiltered haze that can be attributed to dry-hopping, the use of high-protein grains, certain yeasts, among other brew choices. NEIPAs are currently enjoying huge popularity and drinkers are buying cans of the cloudy, juicy style in droves.
