Jefferson

Tap to rate

Coconut, a complex of tropical and stone fruit, resinous cedar, mint, mandarin and cream or citrus come together in this New England IPA. The brewery compares it to Thomas Jefferson uniting good ideas in the Declaration of Independence. It is hopped with Sabro, Citra and Cascade, brewed with oats and wheat malt, and fermented with a Verdant yeast.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright coconut and mandarin citrus notes, followed by a complex tropical fruit expression reminiscent of stone fruit. Resinous cedar and herbal mint emerge in the mid-range, while a subtle cream note underpins the overall aromatic profile. The Sabro and Citra hops contribute distinct fruity and citric layers without aggressive resin.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel from the oat and wheat Malz, allowing tropical and stone fruit flavors to flow across the mid-palate. Citrus and a light resinous bitterness build gradually, while herbal mint adds complexity without dominating. The 45 IBU sits comfortably, balancing hop character against the beer's full body and rounded texture.

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.
