Aarhus NEIPA

Tap to rate

Aarhus NEIPA is cloudy and golden with a dense, creamy head. The scent is tropical fruit and fresh citrus from Amarillo and Mosaic, added during dry hopping. In the taste come mango, grapefruit and orange, carried by a soft mouthfeel and a rounded bitterness that keeps it juicy and easy to drink. Barley malt, wheat malt and oats make up the grain bill.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Aarhus NEIPA

Aarhus NEIPA presents a golden, cloudy body that catches light with a soft haze characteristic of the style. The dense, creamy head builds generously and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Moderate carbonation creates a fine, sustained fizz beneath the foam.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant tropical fruit notes—ripe mango and papaya—layered with bright citrus from Amarillo and Mosaic dry hopping. Fresh orange zest and grapefruit pith emerge on closer inspection, while a subtle wheat-grain undertone grounds the aromatic profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and approachable, with mango and grapefruit flavors unfolding across the mid-palate before gentle orange notes finish the sip. The oat and wheat Malz bill delivers a creamy mouthfeel that carries the hop character without astringency, while a rounded bitterness stays juicy and restrained at 45 IBU. The overall impression is one of balance—hoppy yet smooth, juicy without cloy.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
