Ectogasm

Tap to rate

A juicy, hazy, soft NEIPA brewed with Citra and Mosaic hops. Tropical fruit-forward with low bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel — Drekker's everyday hazy for those who find Freak Parade too intense.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ectogasm

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with substantial cloudiness from suspended yeast and protein. A thick, persistent head forms and clings to the glass walls with fine lacing. Moderate carbonation pushes a gentle visual effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit dominates the nose—mango, passion fruit, and papaya leap forward from Citra and Mosaic hops. A subtle floral undertone adds brightness, while soft, grainy malt provides a clean base without competing for attention. The overall impression is juicy and inviting rather than aggressively aromatic.

◐ Taste

The palate opens soft and creamy, with tropical fruit flavors—particularly citrus and stone fruit—developing across the mid-palate. Bitterness remains restrained at 45 IBU, allowing sweetness and fruit character to hold center stage. The mouthfeel is smooth and full-bodied without heaviness, finishing clean with lingering tropical notes.

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.

About New England IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a New England IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
