New England IPA

330 ml bottle from Pigalle Bottleshop, Sangenjaya. Pours nice hazy orange, looking like peach juice. Not that much foam, some lacings. Nose is fruity, overripe plums and some sweet tropical fruits in the nose. taste has some nice fruity cotton candy, light bitterness. Quite dry and refreshing, does not get cloying. Actually I am digging this one quite a lot, well made and tasty.

Tap at the newly expanded Beer Komachi. My first 2nd Story Ale Works beer! NEIPA 7% Honey moly gold with a dense 1cm of foam and a nice tropical aroma. The smooth medium to full body gives sweet tropical fruits and chewy (oats?). It’s got a bit of an orange tang at the finish, really good. It’s a nice example of the style, very drinkable but the finish is a touch on the dry side.

very turbid light white amber color. Frothy white head. Smells like orange and mango juice mixed. Pretty surprised, the nose is better than expected. Medium full body, slightly more bitter than expected but not bad. Light acidity, Could use some lactose to improve the mouth feel but overall this is good stuff.

Bottled, I think. Nice hazy golden color with lace. Biscuits, citrus, tropical fruit nose. Nice. Sweet and wheaty, lots of tropical fruit, some minerals. A bit heavy and gooey but moving in the right direction and decent.
