Neutral Buoyancy is a Double Dry Hopped New England Style IPA. Brewed with Pale malt and a heavy offering of oats and wheat. We then add a touch of lactose and hopped it with a crazy amount of Denali, Citra and Mosaic in the kettle. Then double Dry hopped it with the same blend of hops. This beer features notes of ripe pineapple, orange and tropical citrus.

Reviewed on release date. Poured from 16 oz. can into a snulip glass. It pours a murky, muddy-tangerine color with almost a finger of creamy, bright white head and extensive, soapy lacing. It's a great look. On the nose there is lemon, grapefruit, oats, and floral hops. The taste opens with tart lemon and grapefruit, along with orange peel, pineapple, and significant bitter, grassy, herbal spiciness which I assume comes from the Denali and Mosaic hops. Balancing is a creamy oat sweetness. The finish is bitter and peppery with a bit of astringency that I suppose will mellow with some time in the can. The flavors are bold and the spiciness makes it unique. It has a killer mouth feel: rich and creamy - almost chewy - with moderate carbonation - and it drinks easily at 7% ABV. Overall, Neutral Buoyancy is a big, flavorful, very fine NEIPA from a brewer adept at the style.
