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.

Bottle. Morrisons. Clear, pale amber. Film of sticky, white head. Smells like an amber ale. Red fruit and caramel. Overly sugary. Taste is light sweet. Some woody dryness. Sugary palate. Finishes with an artificial sweetener thing. Not very nice.

Bottle from Morrisons Newark. Now how did I miss this beauty. A Charles Wells Dogfish Head collab? Clear brown amber lasting beige head. Lime on the aroma for some reason. Almost artificial lime. Then some hop and citrus. It’s a bit odd. It’s like a lime flavoured session ipa. Not terrible but not good and distinctly odd. Made me look sideways at it several times.

Bottle from Tesco. It pours clear amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is bready, toasted grain, biscuit, earth and tinned fruit. The taste is bitter-sweet, pine, toasty grain, citrus peel, spice, earth and tinned fruit with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not very good. Sweet and earthy. I expected better from DFH, but maybe not Wells...

bottle from Tesco Honiton. Golden colour, white head and good hoppy nose. Medium-bodied malty base, just about enough to support the aromatic hops that add a citrusy and slightly resiny touch, also some pine.

Tap@Pied Bull, Streatham, London (12/08/2014) - golden amber pour with good white head. Fruity medium hoppy aroma and taste, some caramel, toffee, some light tropical and citrus fruits, better than anticipated.

Bottle from Tesco, Enniskillen [160714]
Copper amber, clear, frothy white head
Aroma - slight citrus lemon, slight caramel, very little aroma
Taste of soft citrus lemon, soft caramel, slight toasted malt, dab of grassy hop, much lower amount of hops then expected, very dull
Palate - soft carb, medium body, fairly oily. Finish as main flavour, slightly gooey finish
Overall - very lackluster, not craft beer, not an IPA, ordinary supermarket tosh, adding Dogfish Head label is all marketing bullshit
