DNA New World IPA is a perfect beer of two halves. We’ve combined the best of UK and American brewing to create a toasty, nutty, hoppy beer which brings a taste of US craft beer to British drinkers at a very respectable 4.5%.
More than just another American import!
This beer celebrates some of the world’s best brewing expertise coming together to create one exciting brew.
Dogfish Head, founded by Sam Calagione, is famous for its inimitable style and “extreme” beers.
At the centre of DNA is Dogfish’s signature 60 Minute IPA (so-called due to the length of time the beer spends in the boil with hops being continuously added). The Charles Wells team then add their ‘old world’ brewing expertise to the DNA to produce this seriously good beer!
We, at Charles Wells, are thrilled and privileged that Dogfish Head have chosen us as their UK partners.

I was disappointing with this I.P.A. The hop is really discreet, malty but there is a lack of feature, body. Copper color, 01.04.16

Old rating from 17-12-15 - On tap at the newly opened JB's Brewhouse in St. Helier, Jersey. Pours a amber colour with white foamy head with above medium carbonation. Aromas of malty florals. Tastes is also quite floral with a bit of a nutty edge. Overall a beer I quite enjoyed & would have again.

From rediscovered notes. Bottle probably from Tescos. Burnt orange pour with a white head. Malt, toffee and soft fruit aroma. Flavours of bitter citrus and light malt. Quite dry. Not bad.

Bottle shared at home with Hajo. Bought at World of Drinks inside Rotterdam Markthal. Pours amber with bright orange hue. Sweet slightly roasted caramel malts, fruity fresh hops, oranges, lime, slight licorice. Fruity sweet with earthy bitterness. Body is thin, texture is oily and sandy. Quite nice but watery and hollow. --- Beer merged from original tick of Charles Wells / Dogfish Head DNA New World IPA on 21 Nov 2017 at 13:24 - Score: 7. Original review text: 3.4
