NEZIPA

Spitting Feathers Brewery
United Kingdom·Hazy IPA
Tap to rate

Aromas of passion fruit and mango, followed by gooseberry, lime and white wine hop notes, then a juicy, botanical finish on a soft base. The first hops are grown in New England's coastal forests, the others in New Zealand's snow-capped valleys. The name pairs New England with New Zealand: hops from both, in an extra pale, unfined IPA brewed with barley, wheat and oats.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for NEZIPA

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a hazy, opaque character typical of the style. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Gentle carbonation creates a soft mousse rather than aggressive bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Vibrant and layered, opening with stone fruit aromatics of passion fruit and mango from the New England hops. A secondary wave reveals gooseberry, tart lime, and delicate white wine-like hop character from the New Zealand contribution. The overall impression is fresh and botanical, with no apparent grain or yeast character dominating.

◐ Taste

Soft entry with juicy mid-palate where tropical fruit flavors meld with herbal, botanical notes. The base of barley, wheat, and oats provides a gentle, rounded sweetness that balances the moderate 50 IBU bitterness. Hop character remains present throughout without becoming harsh or aggressive.

◑ Finish

Clean, lingering finish with botanical and citrus notes fading gradually. The low alcohol and soft base allow the beer to conclude refreshingly without alcohol burn or residual sweetness.

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.
