Leaf Me Alone

◎ Aussehen

Leaf Me Alone presents a pale golden hue with marked haziness throughout the body, reflecting its New England IPA lineage. The dense, off-white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with persistent Schaumkleiden. Fine carbonation creates a soft, pillowy mouthfeel that carries into the finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous pine and citrus lifted by the triple dry-hop charge of Mosaic, Motueka, and Simcoe. Tropical stone fruit—mango and passionfruit—emerges beneath the herbaceous layers, with a subtle herbal spice that grounds the profile. Minimal malt presence allows the hop character to take full command.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and juicy, leading into a full-bodied mid-palate where resinous bitterness and tropical fruit meld seamlessly. The 50 IBUs provide restraint despite the triple-hop regimen, allowing Motueka's citrus and Mosaic's fruit to shine without astringency. Finish-ward, a creamy, slightly oily texture coats the palate while piney and herbal notes linger.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends with a warm, dry resinous fade complemented by lingering citrus and pine. The 9.5% ABV provides structure without heat, allowing the hop-derived flavors to persist cleanly on the aftertaste.
