Double New England IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-yellow with a soft, persistent white head that clings to the glass. The opacity comes from protein-rich oats and wheat in the grain bill, creating a characteristically cloudy suspension that catches light beautifully. Fine carbonation supports gentle lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with tropical stone fruit and citrus notes—ripe mango and fresh grapefruit pith—supported by a gentle herbal Edelhopfen character. Underlying wheat adds a soft, bready quality, while the oat and lactose foundation contributes a subtle sweetness and body to the aromatics. No sharp alcohol presence despite the 8.5% ABV.

◐ Taste

Entry is round and creamy, the lactose and oat adjuncts lending a pillowy mouthfeel that frames the hop-driven mid-palate. Tropical and citrus flavours unfold smoothly without harsh bitterness; the 50 IBU provides structure rather than bite. The finish balances fruity sweetness with a clean, refreshing dryness, maintaining smoothness throughout.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering fruit and a gentle herbal fade. The aftertaste remains refreshing and clean, never cloying, with the lactose and wheat creating a soft, satisfying conclusion.
