Wildflower IPA

Denmark·New England IPA
Tap to rate

Pungent notes of pineapple and lime give this New England IPA a gentle fruitiness before the hop bitterness takes over and sets the course. The body is almost full, and the beer drinks with sneaky ease. It is built on pilsner malt, rye and wheat and hopped with Amarillo, Simcoe and the newer Idaho 7, which is said to be the main reason for the name and the wildly blooming profile. Launched in 2016, it has since appeared under changing seasonal names in more than 20 variants.

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright luminosity. The head builds quickly and clings to the glass with fine retention, leaving delicate trails of lacing. Carbonation is lively, evident in steady streams of small bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinct pineapple and lime notes, backed by herbal, resinous qualities from the hop blend. Beneath the citrus lies a subtle wheaten undertone and a gentle hint of grass. The Idaho 7 imparts a wild, floral edge that lifts the entire profile without becoming aggressive.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with tropical stone fruit flavors arriving before a measured bitter progression. The mid-palate carries the citrus and wheat forward while Amarillo and Simcoe add pine and spice. Bitterness is assertive yet balanced, rising steadily and holding firm through the swallow without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with resinous hop character fading gradually into a lasting bitter edge. A subtle wheaten sweetness emerges in the final moment before the aftertaste settles into dry resin.

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.
