Marama — New England IPA — Livebarrels

Marama is the New England IPA by Livebarrels, a craft brewery from Carpaneto Piacentino (Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna). It follows the model of the NEIPA category — the recent evolution of American IPA characterized by a hazy appearance, restrained bitterness, explosive tropical fruit aroma, and a soft, silky body. The featured hops are two of the most sought-after in the global craft scene: Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron, both from New Zealand, both capable of delivering extraordinary fruitiness in the glass.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it’s an explosion of tropical fruit: mango, passion fruit, white gooseberry — the unmistakable calling card of Nelson Sauvin — with Nectaron adding peach, apricot, and ripe citrus. On the palate, it’s soft and silky as the NEIPA style demands: bitterness is restrained and never aggressive, the body is full and enveloping, and the carbonation is delicate. The finish is fruity and long, with a residual sweetness that invites the next sip.
