Recipe: NEIPA

New England IPA is an American style IPA with intense fruit flavors and aromas, a soft body, smooth mouthfeel, and often opaque with substantial haze. Less perceived bitterness than traditional IPAs but always massively hop forward. This emphasis on late hopping, especially dry hopping, with hops with tropical fruit qualities lends the specific ‘juicy’ character for which this style is known. (BJCP 21B)
This New England IPA recipe should showcase a hazy appearance, a juicy hop character with citrus and tropical fruit notes, and a smooth mouthfeel resulted by the oat malt.

Fermentation

Medium or lower attenuating strains are recommended (Wyeast 1318, White Labs WLP007 or Fermentis S04). Optimal temperature: 18-23 °C (64-74 °F).
