🌍 Germany · New England IPA · One of 51 New England IPAs in hopIQ

Talus is why this one tastes different from the rest of the range: an American variety with grapefruit peel, rosewood and a touch of leather. Idaho 7 adds apricot and black tea, Citra the citrus base. Double dry-hopped at 6.8 percent, with oats and wheat in the mash.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Psychic Dance Routine

Appearance

Pale golden color with a hazy, turbid body characteristic of the New England IPA style. The dense, creamy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine retention. Bright carbonation rises steadily through the cloudy matrix.

pale goldenhazycreamy headfine lacing

Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit—apricot and peach emerge clearly from the double dry-hop charge. Underneath, grapefruit peel and a subtle leather undertone from the Talus variety create depth, supported by a whisper of black tea and rosewood. Soft grain notes from the oat and wheat base provide a gentle backdrop without dominating.

Taste

The palate opens with a wave of citrus—primarily orange and grapefruit—balanced by the oat and wheat malt which lend a soft, almost creamy texture. Mid-palate brings forward the Idaho 7's black tea character and dried stone fruit, while Talus contributes a subtle leather dryness. Bitterness builds steadily but remains integrated, finishing with an earthy, herbal edge rather than sharp resin.

Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering grapefruit peel bitterness and a faint leather note tapering gradually. No harsh edges; the 6.8% ABV keeps the beer light and refreshing despite its complexity.
