New England-Hazy IPA

Originated in Vermont and New England area, pioneered by breweries like The Alchemist and Tree House
Unfiltered and opaque appearance, often bright orange to golden straw in color
Soft, pillowy mouthfeel from oats and wheat included in the grain bill
Emphasis on intense juicy, tropical fruit hop flavors over bitterness
Hop additions late in the boil and dry hopping create massive hop aroma
Low bitterness around 30-50 IBUs allows fruit hop flavors to shine
Brewed with fruity yeast strains that add complexity
Hop varieties like Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy provide mango, pineapple, peach flavors
Low residual sweetness balances the lack of bitterness
Best consumed fresh, as the hop character drops off quickly
Creamy, smooth, and hazy mouthfeel is signature trait
Criticized by some as not adhering to IPA tradition, but hugely popular currently
Also known as Vermont-style IPA, East Coast IPA
Beers like Heady Topper and Julius pioneered and popularized the style
