Limoncello NEIPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, with suspended particles creating a soft, diffused appearance characteristic of the New England style. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, displaying fine Schaumhaftung along the glass. Carbonation appears brisk but not aggressive, contributing to an inviting, approachable visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes—fresh lemon peel and bright orange zest dominate, complemented by subtle herbal and floral hop character. Behind the citrus foundation lies a gentle tropical note and a whisper of cream from the yeast, creating an aromatic profile that feels both zesty and rounded. The reused lemon peels bring an authentic, slightly candied citrus quality that lifts the entire sensory experience.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and juicy, with bright citrus flavours taking centre stage before a wave of hoppy bitterness emerges mid-palate. The 50 IBU sits comfortably balanced against the natural sweetness of the malt and the pronounced citrus adjunct, avoiding harshness while maintaining assertiveness. A soft, creamy mouthfeel rounds the middle, though the overall impression skews refreshing and dry rather than full-bodied.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and quick, with lingering citrus and a gentle drying effect from the Edelhopfen. A faint creamy note persists briefly, fading to a dry, refreshing aftertaste that invites another sip.
