What is New England IPA beer
NEIPA beer (New England IPA) is a cloudy, fruity variant of IPA with pronounced aromas of tropical fruit, a smooth body, and lower bitterness than traditional IPAs. Thanks to dry hopping, a juicy character is created that enthusiasts often describe as juicy or hazy.
NEIPAs have become an indispensable part of the beer industry. This IPA beer has an average alcohol percentage of 5% to 8% (ABV) and is packed with hoppy fruit notes ranging from tropical fruit to stone fruit, which make the beer extra juicy.

What is the difference between IPA and NEIPA?

|---|---|
| Clear appearance | Cloudy appearance |
| Higher bitterness | Softer bitterness |
| Citrus and resin | Tropical fruit and stone fruit |
| Tighter finish | Creamier mouthfeel |
| More focus on bitter hops | More focus on dry hopping |
Short answer: a NEIPA is fruitier, softer, and cloudier than a traditional IPA. While a classic IPA often revolves around bitterness, the focus with a NEIPA is on juicy hop aromas and a creamy mouthfeel.

The history of NEIPA beer
Where exactly does NEIPA come from? The name actually gives it away… from American New England. This new kid on the block was first brewed at a brewery in Vermont.
Soon, other breweries also started experimenting with brewing NEIPA, and the rest is history.
What makes NEIPA beer so special
What makes NEIPA beer so special? To explain that, we look at how it is brewed.
Dry hopping and fruity flavors
The first thing you notice when drinking a NEIPA is the taste: cloudy and juicy at the same time. This is because the beer is brewed with hops, hops, and more hops.
However, unlike a classic IPA , the hops are added later during dry hopping. This results in primarily fruity aromas rather than harsh bitterness.
Yeast and cloudiness
Special yeast strains ensure that the fruity esters come to the fore particularly well and contribute to the cloudy character.
Additionally, NEIPA is not filtered, resulting in a fuller and fruitier end product.
Less bitter, more drinkable
NEIPAs are less bitter and much smoother than other IPAs. As a result, they are more accessible without compromising on taste.
How bitter is a NEIPA?
NEIPA is packed with hops, but don't be fooled by that hop bomb. Thanks to the focus on aroma and dry hopping, a New England IPA is usually less bitter than a classic IPA or West Coast IPA.
| Beer Style | Average IBU |
|---|---|
| NEIPA | 20 - 50 IBU |
| IPA | 40 - 70 IBU |
| West Coast IPA | 50 - 80 IBU |
Short answer: despite the generous use of hops, a NEIPA is often less bitter than a traditional IPA. It’s not about a bitter hop slap in the face, but about juicy aromas of mango, peach, pineapple, and other tropical fruit. Juicy first, bitterness second.
The color and appearance of NEIPA beer
The story behind NEIPA revolves around one thing: more hops than malt.
However, ingredients such as oats and sometimes lactose also play a role. They are responsible for the creamy and smooth taste for which this beer is known.
What does a NEIPA look like?
A NEIPA is often described as a cloudy beer that resembles a glass of fruit juice.
From light gold to orange, always hazy and with a firm head.
When this beer style first appeared, it caused confusion. But it is precisely this character that makes NEIPA so unique compared to clear IPAs.
Various NEIPA beers
Although NEIPA is a relatively new beer style, that has not stopped brewers from experimenting with it.
No fixed types, but a lot of variety
Officially, there are no fixed subtypes, but every brewery puts its own spin on it.
Playing with hops, timing, and yeast creates major differences in taste and intensity.
Innovation in hops and yeast
In yeast labs, work is continuously being done on new strains to extract even more flavor from hops.
Bee Uiltje for example, we use London Fog yeast for our Fresh & Fast beers.
