FOAM LIKE CLOCKWORK
On tap at Growler & Gill, sunshiny hazy golden NEIPA tosses plush lemon-sugared orange and pineapple tanginess and salted white grape tannins at yogurt milked souring above delicate vanilla-creamed oats spine.
EQUILIBRIUM / MODIST COSMIC PROPORTIONS DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Growler & Gill (and better labeled an NEIPA), gunky yogurt-milked tropical fruiting seeps thru viscous oats flaked creaming. Juicy Citra-hopped orange juicing and yellow grapefruit zesting juxtapose slightly sour Nelson Sauvin-hopped guava, passionfruit and mango splurge as peachy tangerine tang sweetens things up.
ARROWOOD FARMS POLLY INDIA PALE ALE
On tap at Hoover’s Tavern, undersized NEIPA lacks stylish wheated oats creaminess. But its brisk lemony orange rind bittering, tangy grapefruit peeled pineapple zesting and floral-daubed pine licks maintain assertion over dry pale malt base.
NEW TRAIL BLACK CAST HAZY DOUBLE IPA
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, straightforward NEIPA places mellow grapefruit, orange, pineapple and mango tropicalia as well as dank pine tones atop buttery oated wheat creaming, but lacks stylish yogurt souring of hazier competition.
OTHER HALF 11 POUNDERS DDH IPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, dry yellow-hazed easygoer retains pillowy soft-tongued pleasantry. Lemony white grapefruit salting, sour guava-gooseberry-passionfruit tartness and mellow mandarin orange tang sit comfortably across mild pine resin and above lightly creamed oats sugaring.
PRISON CITY MASS RIOT NEIPA
On tap at Growler & Gill, tropical fruited NEIPA flagship lacks creamy oated wheat base of richer stylistic brethren but still benefits from juicy Citra-Mosaic hop sunniness and dry Simcoe hop woodiness. Lemony grapefruit spritz and tangy mango-peach-pineapple zesting gain grassy astringency above crystal pale malting.
FIDENS JASPER DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
Fulsome hazy golden NEIPA retains zesty orange peeled yellow grapefruit tanginess, salted guava-gooseberry souring and slight white peach/tangerine tang as well as resinous piney bittering. Mild grassy astringency and tingled floral spicing add subtleties. Buttery oats creaming gains yogurt thickness at tropical fruited finish.
BOLERO SNORT GOAT
Jersey harvested hophead delight brings briskly bright tropical fruiting to dank pine lacquering over mildly creamed oated wheat base, gathering juniper-bitten herbal nips for its boozy finishing phenols. Bitter orange rind and yellow grapefruit pith juicing thrusts forward alongside the gooey hop resin of a piney-citric West Coast IPA. Not as yogurt-milked or lemony guava soured as most NEIPA’s – so call it a tidily embittered New England/Pacific Northwest hop-centric pairing.
REVERIE WATERFALL NEW ENGLAND IPA
Less dimensional than most NEIPA’s, lacking some of the creamy oats richness and most of the raspy yogurt-milked fruitiness stylistically implied. Mild grapefruit, tangerine, mango and guava tanginess stays subtle as honeyed crystal malts sweetness the backend.
MORTALIS PERSEPHONE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, sunshiny tropical fruiting and rainbow salad spicing brighten dazzling hazy amber NEIPA. Zesty orange peeled pineapple, peach and grapefruit tanginess plus salty mango, guava and gooseberry souring ride above creamy oated wheat base. Minor dank pine tones circulate thru juicy fruit punch.
WIDOWMAKER GALAXY GRINDER NEW ENGLAND IPA
On tap at Taphouse 15, briskly clean Cryo hop oils provide smooth tropical fruiting for lightly creamed oated wheat foundation. Dank pine resin slowly seeps into candied pineapple, salted mango, tangy peach and zesty orange goodness.
