Moersleutel Fruit Press IPA – The Return of Juicy Innovation

Introducing Batch 2: A New Chapter of Hazy Fruit Perfection

The iconic Fruit Press IPA from Moersleutel Craft Brewery is back — and this time, it’s armed with a superdeluxe hyperboost. Bursting with hops and elevated by the addition of Citra hop oil, this next-generation hazy NEIPA delivers an even more intense and juicy fruit explosion.

While Batch 1 leaned toward bright citrus notes, Batch 2 dives headfirst into stone fruit territory — overflowing with ripe peach and nectarine aromas, silky texture, and smooth drinkability that defines Moersleutel’s modern IPA craftsmanship.

The Craft of a Perfect Hazy IPA

Blending Hops, Fruit, and Engineering Precision

Creating a well-balanced New England IPA takes both science and artistry. The Moersleutel team engineered Fruit Press IPA to capture the essence of juicy hop character while maintaining its signature soft mouthfeel.

Using a blend of Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka hops, then enhanced with Citra hop oil, the brewers built a dynamic flavor profile that bursts with tropical energy and stone fruit depth. The malt base — a careful mix of barley, wheat, oats, and rye — gives the beer its signature hazy body and creamy finish.

The Power of Citra Hop Oil

The introduction of Citra hop oil marks a bold step in hop innovation. By extracting the essential oils from Citra hops, Moersleutel enhances both aroma and flavor, creating a bright, juicy intensity that feels vibrant yet balanced.

This technique preserves the delicate tropical and peach notes without increasing bitterness — resulting in a beer that’s as smooth as it is aromatic.
