Calverley's NEIPA

Tap to rate

Calverley's NEIPA has been part of the Hooper Street programme since 2017. It is brewed without bittering hops: Mosaic, Citra and Simcoe all go in late, in three separate dry-hop additions. The beer is deliberately hazy, with an aroma of tropical fruit and a juicy, fruit-forward profile. At 6.5% it sits at full IPA strength, and earlier batches ran as high as 7.3%. It pours at the taproom and at the Engineer's House.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Calverley's NEIPA

◎ Appearance

The beer presents a pale golden hue with pronounced haze throughout, characteristic of the style. A thick, creamy white head forms on the pour and maintains excellent retention, leaving bold lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation appears well-integrated, creating a soft, pillowy foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—pineapple and passionfruit dominate, with supporting notes of citrus zest and stone fruit. Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe work in concert across the three dry-hop additions to build a complex, layered bouquet. Background Malz provides a subtle sweet foundation without any sharp phenolics or estery character.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and fruit-forward, with the hop character expressing immediately as tropical and stone-fruit notes. Mid-palate remains full-bodied and cohesive, driven by the hop blend rather than lingering sweetness. Bitterness integrates smoothly throughout at 50 IBU—present and balanced but never harsh, allowing the fruit character to remain focal.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and drying, with the hop bitterness fading gradually into a lingering citrus note. Aftertaste remains refreshing without any harsh resinous character or cloying sweetness.

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