Hey guys,
I just kegged my first NEIPA beer and thought I would share the recipe!

This beer has a big silky body, that is not overpowering. The head is thick and creamy, and stands up for the duration of the pour. The nose is all stone fruit and citrus...it's absolutely amazing!

I did not add any fruit puree to this batch...I wanted to taste the base beer, before adding too many crazy adjuncts. If I could change anything, I would eliminate the Warrior hops in the boil...the hop character is super fruity, with a touch of pine/resin that is almost too much. Although, that pine bite might be balanced out when adding fruit puree. Enjoy!

Beautiful colour. But aren't the fruits too expensive ? How can you find 250 gr Passion fruit puree for instance? In the fruits, there are only a few grams of a kind of juice. And the other fruits are very expensive in Belgium.

You're right...the fruit IS expensive here! In this case, I would purchase a 1kg container of the Mango Puree (~€9) and a 500g container of mixed exotic fruit puree (~€5.50) and just use that. Or, you could purchase passion fruit and papaya and the local store and puree yourself.

Awesome link man, thanks! Looks like I'll be ordering some very soon :

As a side note, I would also add a few liters to the batch to offset absorption by the fruit puree. From what I have been reading, the fruit will soar up a fair amount of beer, and not give it back.
