Union NEIPA

◎ Appearance

A pale golden yellow with deliberate cloudiness from suspended yeast and grain particles, giving the beer its characteristic hazy appearance. The head is pillowy and persistent, with fine lacing that clings to the glass. Moderate carbonation creates a gentle effervescence beneath the surface.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with juicy tropical fruit—passion fruit and ripe pineapple dominate, supported by bright citrus notes and a distinctive sea buckthorn character. Beneath this fruit-forward profile lies a soft, grainy maltiness from the oat and wheat base, with the noble Tettnanger hop adding subtle herbal complexity. The overall impression is inviting and approachable, with fruit and malt in balanced conversation.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and juicy, with tropical fruit flavors mirroring the aroma while wheat and oat malts provide a velvety, full mouthfeel. The mid-palate develops a gentle sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness from the hop blend—the 10 IBU keeps things approachable rather than assertive. Citrus and stone fruit notes linger across the palate, creating a cohesive, fruit-driven experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, fading smoothly without harsh edges or lingering bitterness. Subtle malty sweetness and a whisper of citrus remain on the tongue, inviting another sip.
