Martinus NEIPA

Tap to rate

Mango, passion fruit and pineapple open the nose of this hazy IPA, joined by pine resin and woody, grassy cedar, and in the mouth a harmonious bitterness follows. Pale Ale, wheat and oat malt, Rakau in the whirlpool, then Talus and Citra in the dry hop give a velvet-soft body at 6.5 %, brewed by Martinus in Groningen.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Martinus NEIPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, with suspended sediment creating a soft, cloudy appearance characteristic of the style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and evident throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with ripe tropical stone fruit—mango and passion fruit lead, followed by bright pineapple. A secondary wave of pine resin and woody cedar emerges, grounded by herbaceous, grassy notes that suggest fresh cut stems. The overall impression is fruity yet herbaceous, without aggressive hop burn.

◐ Taste

Entry brings soft tropical sweetness from wheat and oat malt, balanced by a restrained bitterness that builds gradually rather than strikes. Mid-palate develops a velvety texture—the 6.5% ABV keeps the beer light and drinkable, while Talus and Citra hops contribute citrus undertones and gentle bitterness. Finish is clean and harmonious, with no harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is moderately long, fading gradually with lingering pine resin and a whisper of citrus zest. The beer leaves the mouth dry and refreshed, inviting another sip.

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.
