New Grist IPA

Tap to rate

The hopped-up sibling of New Grist is a gluten-free IPA brewed since 2024. Late-boil Citra, Idaho 7 and Mosaic bring orange candy, lemon-lime soda and tangerine aromas, then flavours of citrus, pine and dank hop, with hints of tropical fruit. Pale- and medium-roast malted millet add a familiar toastiness, and the finish skips the bitter bite. 6.5% ABV, 44 IBU, golden, medium body.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for New Grist IPA

◎ Appearance

Golden hue with excellent clarity and bright luminosity throughout the glass. A fine, persistent head forms on the pour and leaves delicate lacing as it settles. Medium body and lively carbonation convey freshness without aggressive fizz.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes—candied orange, lemon-lime soda, and tangerine—layered over piney resin from the late-boil Edelpilzen additions. Beneath these bright hop aromatics, subtle tropical fruit undertones emerge, while toasted millet malz provides a warm, familiar backbone without overpowering the composition.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and citrus-forward, with Citra and Idaho 7 delivering orange and lemon character. Mid-palate brings balanced hop bitterness and piney dryness, complemented by the subtle toastiness of pale and medium-roast millet malz. The bitterness remains restrained for the style, allowing fruity and herbal dimensions to remain prominent throughout.

◑ Finish

Clean and quick, eschewing the harsh bite often found in traditional IPAs. The final note is dry and slightly piney with lingering citrus, fading gracefully into a refreshing aftertaste.

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.
