New England’s Original IPA | As enjoyable today as it was in ‘93, IPA is a regional favorite and a craft beer classic. Styled after an English IPA but brewed with distinctly American hops, it’s citrusy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced– as perfect on a Cape Cod beach as it is in a VT ski lodge or Boston dive bar.

24.06.2013, tap @ Doyle’s Cafe Boston:
Tiny shortlasting head. Aroma is slightly neutral and perfumed, hops, light malts, citrus, alcohol, leafs, grass. Taste is slightly dry grassy, hops, light malts, wet leafs, grass soil, caramel. Medium bitterness, slightly harsh. Fair enough.

I’m surprised I haven’t reviewed this beer yet, I’ve had it many times. This rating reflects the brew as I had it on tap at Dave’s house, thanks for the opportunity. Clear deep golden color with a decent frothy white head that persists forever. Earthy citrus hop aroma countered with plenty of bready caramel malt. Old school bitter citrus flavor with a fair amount of brown sugar read and caramel. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick almost sweet mouthfeel. After all these years this is still a pretty good IPA.

Bottle. Biscuit malt and light fruity hops aroma. Clear medium gold with a large off-white head. Light sweet caramel malt, citrus peel and fruity hops flavor. Medium body, very soft carbonation. Rather malt forward IPA, bit in my book that’s a good thing.
