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.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear gold, medium white head, no lacing. Aroma of pine and citrus, caramel and bread. Taste is heavier on the malt than the aroma suggests. Still a nice balanced if thin flavor, some hop bitterness combats the malty sweetness. Overall way more of the Wells influence here than the Dogfish Head.

330ml bottle from Tesco, Camberley. Straw coloured with a fast fading white head and light carbonation; aroma of over stewed hops; chewy malt taste; with a sweet caramel finish. An ocean away from the real Dogfish Head IPAs.

330ml bottle. Dark gold amber colour, foam white head and aroma of malt, toffee, citrus hop. Taste is biscuity malt caramel, sweetish, with fruity citrus earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, biscuity dry bitter at the finish. Quite OK.

On Draught, Shipping Forecast, Liverpool. Amber looks with a meek white head. Weak aroma of vague citrus. Watery insipid flavour with a pathetically lacklustre hop profile. A chore to drink and a pointless collaboration. Excpected a lot more from Dogfish Head.
