🌍 United States · New England Double IPA · One of 8 New England Double IPAs in hopIQ

I Am PVD is a hazy double IPA and a house beer at Narragansett's taproom, its name a tribute to the brewery's home city of Providence. Golden Promise malt from the UK provides depth of flavor, and naked oat malt adds haze, silkiness and body. Azacca and BRU-1 hops give an intensely aromatic profile of pineapple, ripe mango and freshly cut citrus over a smooth, full-bodied base.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for I Am PVD

Appearance

Golden-yellow body with pronounced haze from oat malt contribution, creating an opaque, inviting appearance. The head is substantial and creamy, with fine retention and visible lacing that clings to the glass as you drink. Bright carbonation is evident throughout, with steady bubble formation rising through the cloudy body.

Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit character—ripe mango and pineapple dominate, backed by bright citrus zest from the Azacca and BRU-1 hops. Beneath the hop intensity sits a subtle malt sweetness from Golden Promise, adding depth without overshadowing the aromatic profile. Clean fermentation allows the fruit and floral notes to shine without yeasty or estery distractions.

Taste

Entry is soft and welcoming, with the oat malt providing silky mouthfeel that belies the 8.2% ABV. Mid-palate develops tropical and citrus fruit flavors in harmony with a restrained but present bitterness—around 50 IBU—that balances rather than dominates. The full body carries the beer smoothly across the palate, with malt sweetness and hop bitterness in equilibrium, finishing with a long dry note.
