Hostivar 13 NEIPA

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a distinctly hazy, opaque character that diffuses light throughout the glass. A white, creamy head forms readily and maintains good adhesion to the glass walls. Fine carbonation creates a gentle, sustained visual presence without aggressive bubbling.

◌ Aroma

Tropical stone fruit and citrus dominate the nose, with prominent pineapple, passion fruit, and peach notes emerging ahead of the hop character. New Zealand Edelhopfen—Nectaron, Kohatu, and Motueka—contribute bright citrus and distinctly juicy impressions. Subtle wheat and barley malt provide a delicate, grainy foundation that supports rather than dominates.

◐ Taste

Tropical and citrus-forward entry with ripe peach and passionfruit leading the mid-palate. The body remains smooth and velvety despite the 6% alcohol, carried partly by oat flakes and wheat malt that add soft roundness. Gentle bitterness arrives in the mid-to-late palate, restrained and well-integrated rather than assertive, leaving an overall impression of juicy fruit with a light hoppy edge.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a lingering citrus and light hop presence. The aftertaste fades smoothly, leaving subtle peach and a dry, refreshing sensation on the palate.
