Very dry and assertively bitter.
The malt sets the frame and lets the hops carry the flavour.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Neon Colour Spreading
◎ Appearance
Neon Colour Spreading pours a vivid golden-orange with striking luminosity and characteristic New England haze. A billowing white head crowns the glass with persistent retention and fine lacing. The turbidity is deliberate and inviting, showcasing the style's signature cloudiness from yeast and hop matter in suspension.
◌ Aroma
The nose erupts with tropical intensity, leading with ripe mango and passion fruit layered over bright orange zest. A soft, doughy maltiness provides a gentle foundation without competing with the hop character. The overall impression is fruit-forward and aromatic, with no sharp or herbal edges.
◐ Taste
Entry is lush and full-bodied with waves of juicy citrus and stone fruit flooding the palate. A gentle resinous backbone emerges mid-palate, adding texture and complexity without harshness. Bitterness is restrained and smooth, allowing the hop-driven fruitiness to remain dominant throughout.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering tropical sweetness that invites immediate return. Aftertaste remains fruit-forward and balanced, free from astringency or oxidative notes.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of Neon Colour Spreading
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
