🌍 Argentina · New England IPA · One of 114 New England IPAs in hopIQ

A New England IPA first poured in the brand's Refugios and bottled from 2021. Pale ale and Munich malt, malted wheat, oats and a little caramel malt give a deep orange colour and a steady haze. Simcoe, Mosaic and the Australian Ella are added mostly cold, so the aroma brings tropical fruit, passion fruit, mango, peach, tangerine and orange with a herbal note. Bitterness stays low; the body is medium and silky, and the finish refreshing.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Vera IPA

◎ Appearance

Deep orange hue with a persistent haze characteristic of the New England IPA style. The cloudiness stems from suspended yeast and protein, creating a soft, turbid appearance. Head retention is steady, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass.

◌ Aroma

Tropical and stone fruit notes dominate the nose, with pronounced passion fruit, mango, and peach alongside bright tangerine and orange zest. A subtle herbal undertone provides balance to the fruit-forward profile. The cold-steep technique preserves delicate volatile compounds without aggressive bittering.
