Drip

Tap to rate

Stone fruit runs through this juicy, dank 7% double dry hopped New England IPA, with passion fruit, papaya and mango on the nose. Simcoe, Enigma and Mosaic do the work, and stacks of oats give it a super silky mouthfeel. Drip is a SALT special, and the brewery calls it one of the juiciest, dankest NEIPAs it has made.

◌ Aroma

Stone fruit leads the charge—ripe peach and apricot—layered beneath vibrant tropical notes of passion fruit, papaya, and mango. The Simcoe, Enigma, and Mosaic hops deliver a balanced dank herbal undertone without harsh resinousness, while oats add a soft, grain-forward sweetness that frames the citrus character.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and juicy, with stone fruit and tropical fruit flavors dominant across the mid-palate. The substantial oat content creates a silky, almost creamy body that masks the 50 IBUs gracefully; bitterness remains present but refined, finishing clean without sharpness. Dank herbal notes provide depth without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◑ Finish

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.
