Fresh Pulp

Tap to rate

Fresh Pulp is a double dry-hopped New England IPA, first released in 2024 and brewed again since. The hop bill reads Centennial, Chinook, Citra, Harlequin and El Dorado, and the brewery names mango, passion fruit and a broad tropical character as the result, with passion fruit leading the aroma. At 6.0% it carries 34 IBU, so the hop aroma sits in front and the bitterness stays in the background.

◌ Aroma

Passion fruit leads the nose with immediate aromatic intensity, supported by broader tropical fruit notes—mango and stone fruit undertones emerge as the beer opens. The hop character is clean and fruity rather than herbal or piney; the aroma sits prominently in the foreground with no competing malt or yeast notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruity hop flavors that echo the aroma—tropical and stone fruit character dominates the mid-palate without sharp edges. Bitterness remains restrained at 34 IBU, providing structure and balance rather than assertiveness. The malt base is light and clean, allowing the double dry-hop character to remain the focus throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and relatively brief, with tropical fruit notes fading gracefully into a subtle, lingering hop dryness. No harsh bitterness or astringency persists.

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.
