Peach Please: quick guide to the Session New England IPA
New England IPAs (NEIPA), also known as "hazy IPAs," emphasize intense hop aroma, soft body, and hazy appearance. When the character is "session," the goal is to offer all the drinkability and hop aromas with a lower alcohol content.
What is a NEIPA (hazy IPA)?
- Hazy appearance — due to proteins, suspended yeast, and hop oils.
- Intense and fruity aromas (tropical, citrus, stone fruit).
- Soft and round body — often achieved with oats and wheat.
- Low perceived bitterness; focus is on aroma and juiciness.
BJCP guidelines for NEIPAs
- ABV: for a session NEIPA, 3.5–5.0%.
- IBU: low to moderate (10–30 IBU), balanced bitterness but not dominant.
- Aroma: intense modern hops (Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, El Dorado) with fruity and tropical notes.
- Body: soft, slightly creamy thanks to oats and wheat, juicy finish.
- Appearance: straw-orange, opalescent.
Basic recipe for a Session NEIPA (20 L)
- Grain bill: 80–90% pale malt, 5–10% oat flakes, 5–10% wheat.
- Limited bittering (10–20 IBU); aroma from whirlpool and double dry hop (DDH).
- Hops: Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, Amarillo, El Dorado for notes of peach, exotic fruit, and citrus.
- Yeast: "NE" or "Vermont" strains for fruity esters and low attenuation.
- Minimum cold crash — haze is part of the style.
Where to buy a quality NEIPA
NEIPAs should be drunk fresh: prefer specialized beer shops or craft beer e-commerce that guarantee freshness and proper storage. Always check the packaging date.
