Naparbier Skull Beneath the Skin

Naparbier’s Skull Beneath the Skin is a vibrant Hazy IPA that balances a bold, pungent presence with a refined, silky interior. At 7.1% ABV, this juice-forward ale is heavily defined by its massive dry-hop additions of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe. These specific hop varieties deliver an intense tropical macedonia of mango, passion fruit, and ripe pineapple, underscored by nuances of sweet grapefruit. The sensory profile is exceptionally smooth, offering a lush, velvety texture that carries the saturated hop aromatics through to a soft, fruit-forward finish. It exemplifies the modern New England style, where high hop saturation meets a gentle, bready malt foundation and a restrained bitterness.
