What is a NEIPA? The Hazy IPA Everyone’s Talking About

The Juice Bomb That Took Over the Beer World

Let’s get this out of the way: what is a NEIPA and why does everyone love it?

This unfiltered, hazy India Pale Ale style is soft, fruity, and explosively aromatic. Built on late hopping and smooth mouthfeel, it’s a fresh take on what an IPA can be.

How the Haze Happens

That iconic NEIPA cloudiness comes from a few clever brewing choices:

• For example, oats and wheat for body

• No filtration or fining

• Dry hopping during fermentation

• Carefully selected estery yeast strains

It’s controlled chaos in the glass—and that’s exactly the point.

Flavor Notes You Can Expect

Think fruit basket meets machine oil. A great NEIPA offers:

• Mango

• Peach and melon

• Citrus peel

• Occasional hints of coconut or pineapple

• Many more, the sky is the limit!

Perfect for hop lovers who crave flavor but without the classic bitterness.
