St-Ambroise Double NEIPA

Canada·New England Double IPA
Tap to rate

A full-bodied hazy double, deep golden and opaque, with a thick, soft mouthfeel. Citra, El Dorado and Sabro are loaded in after fermentation and give passion fruit, mango and pineapple, with coconut and a resinous edge underneath. The alcohol shows as warmth rather than heat, and a light malt sweetness carries the fruit. Bitterness stays moderate for the strength, leaving a long, ripe, faintly sticky finish.

Bright tropical fruit dominates the nose, with distinct passion fruit, mango, and pineapple notes layered above a subtle coconut undertone. Behind the fruit sits a resinous, herbal quality from the Edelhopfen, adding complexity without overwhelming the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with ripe tropical fruit character immediately evident. The mid-palate balances juicy hop expression with light Malz sweetness, while bitterness remains moderate and measured for the alcohol strength. The resinous quality persists subtly, grounding the fruit-forward character.

◑ Finish

Long and lingering, with ripe fruit notes persisting alongside a faintly sticky, resinous coat on the palate. Alcohol registers as gentle warmth rather than harsh heat, and the finish gradually fades into a dry, faintly herbal 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.
