In NEIPA, you’ve probably recognized the letters IPA! In this article, we’ll explain what the acronym stands for and give you an overview of these unique beers.

What is a NEIPA?

IPA stands for India Pale Ale. This style originated in the 18th century, when British brewers developed stronger, hoppier beers to ensure they would survive the long voyage to British colonies in India.

NEIPA stands for New England IPA. As the name suggests, this modern twist on the classic IPA comes from New England in the northeastern United States. Today, NEIPAs are brewed all over the world, including in France, the Netherlands, and England. Their cans and bottles often feature bold, colourful, and creative designs.

Now that you know what a NEIPA is, let’s take a closer look at its flavour profile.

What flavours can you expect from a New England India Pale Ale?

NEIPAs are typically known for being less bitter than traditional IPAs while still delivering an explosion of hop aroma and flavour. They often have a juicy, fruity profile with tropical and citrus notes, a soft mouthfeel, and a hazy appearance due to dry hopping and the use of certain malts or yeast strains.

However, the flavour can vary widely from one NEIPA to another. That’s why we recommend reading the product descriptions on our site carefully. You’ll find useful information about the beer’s appearance, format (bottle or can), flavour profile, alcohol content, and tasting notes. Also discover Milkshake IPA and Double IPA !
