Nevel NEIPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a dense, persistent haze born from the combination of barley and oat malts. A thick, creamy head forms on the pour and maintains good retention, leaving a fine lacework of foam down the glass. The turbidity is characteristic of the style, catching light with a soft, milky quality.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced tropical fruit notes—ripe mango and passion fruit dominate, layered with bright citrus undertones reminiscent of grapefruit. A gentle warmth from the 8.1% ABV and the soft, resinous character of the dry-hop additions round out the bouquet. The oat malt contributes a subtle cereal sweetness that frames the bold hop expression without overwhelming it.

◐ Taste

The palate opens full and warming, with the tropical fruit character carrying through seamlessly from the nose. Mid-palate reveals a balanced sweetness—silky and ripe rather than cloying—that complements the fruitiness and gives the beer its characteristic body. The bitterness builds gradually, reaching a moderate 50 IBU that frames rather than dominates, creating complexity without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is fairly dry with a lingering bitter edge that extends the fruity character into a long, satisfying aftertaste. The hop-driven finish leaves the palate pleasantly warm and engaged, inviting another sip.
