Tap to rate

Tropical hop character leads, with floral and citrus notes around it: Amarillo and El Dorado go heavily into the kettle, Citra into the dry hop. Rolled oats and malted wheat in the grist and an English ale yeast shape the body. 6.8% ABV and 18 IBU – the brewery's latest interpretation of the New England style.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for HooDoo New England IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold with a soft, diffuse quality typical of the New England style. The head is modest but persistent, with fine retention and gentle lacing. Moderate carbonation creates a gentle effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit leads the nose, with distinct notes of mango and papaya from the Amarillo and El Dorado hops. Floral undertones and bright citrus zest frame the profile, while soft grain notes from rolled oats and malted wheat provide a gentle, creamy backdrop without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with tropical juice and a full, smooth body built by oats and wheat. Hop character remains restrained with only 18 IBU, allowing the fruit-forward character to shine while a subtle floral complexity develops mid-palate. The finish is clean and balanced, with minimal bitterness and a lingering fruity 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.
