London-based Beavertown Brewery has unveiled its latest beer launch in the form of Humuloid, which it describes as the natural extension of its popular Lupuloid IPA.

The double IPA features plenty of wheat and oats for a rich body, and fermented with Vermont yeast to lend some fruitiness.

Humuloid has low bitterness in the boil but then dry hopped with 18 g/l of Citra and Azacca for hoppy aromatics balancing out the sweetness of the finishing gravity, the brewery explained.

Coming in at 81.7 IBU, the beer also features Golden Promise, Golden Naked Oats, Wheat, Flaked Oats, Dextrin, Acidulated malts.

Beavertown added: “It pours as cloudy apple juice, a real murk bomb, with the ripe tropical aromas blasting away your nose hairs. Typical of New England style IPAs and DIPAs it has a soft, rich mouthfeel, mild bitterness, with pithy papaya flavours striding through.

“This is a powerhouse of a beer. Dense like cloudy apple juice you know this is going to smack you hard  with massive slugs of rich, ripe mango and pineapple on the nose and maybe just a hint of shortcrust swaggering around in the background.

“It weighs in heavy on the palate courtesy of plenty of wheat and oats. Stacks more sticky mango then orchard fruits, apple and crunchy pear finishing with a builders tea like bitterness to pick you up, dust you off and get you ready for another round.”
