Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dee Dee NEIPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The opacity is characteristic of the style—cloudy from suspended yeast and hop matter rather than any fault. Bright carbonation visible as fine bubbles throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit forward on the nose, with bright Mosaic and Citra hop character delivering waves of mandarin orange and white peach. The Vermont yeast adds a soft, creamy backdrop without phenolic edge. Clean fermentation allows the hop aromatics to dominate without obstruction.

◐ Taste

The palate opens juicy and full-bodied for the ABV, with tropical stone fruit and citrus flavors layered smoothly across the mid-palate. The 50 IBU bitterness is restrained and integrated—present but never harsh or astringent. Finishes light and dry, with no residual sweetness or cloying character.

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.
