Dry-hopped for a distinctive, floral hop aroma; subtly balanced with delicious malt notes.
Brewed through 2014. Recipe changed in 2015. See Mad Hatter IPA for the newer version.

A golden amber IPA with a thin white head. Aroma of light floral hops and chlorine. In mouth, a clean malt with light hops, a bit thin, but overall, OK IPA. Tasted at Mondiale 2007.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Amber color with a huge off-white head. Does a bit of ring lace. Nice aromas of light roast caramel and floral/citrus hop. Flavor: This stuff is really fruity. Not so much bitter, though it is. It’s almost perfumey. Whoo. Everyone should try this. Amazingly different IPA. Generates a nice hop burn in the rear of the mouth as it finishes. Still not all that damn bitter. Just all that damn hoppy. Likely underrated.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thick orangey head. The aroma is lovely with notes of grapefruit and Cascade hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of grapefruit, leading to a dry grassy and bitter finish. Thanks Phil_L for sharing.

Slightly hazy amber with a small white head. A good strong hop aroma with peach, grapefruit and pine dominating. Sweetish fruity flavour, and good hoppy bitterness.

Bottle: Poured a deep orangey color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma consists of medium bitter hops with some noticeable caramel malt. Taste is a middle of the road mix between some bitter hops and sweet caramel malt. No floral notes or citrus notes discernable that would have provided differentiation within the style. Average body with some average carbonation. Overall this is not bad but just really another middle of the road IPA.

12oz bottle. Tan-orange color with a quickly fading head. Pleasant hoppy and floral aroma. A very refreshing English-style IPA. Chewy, sweet malt profile backed up by a solid hop presence. This is a really well made beer. Worth seeking out.

Sampled at the Northern Virginia Summer BrewFest (2008). Pours a copper color. with a white head. Aroma is pine hops. Flavor is amazing. It is full of citrus notes, hops, and is extremely crisp and has a fantastic bitter finish.

Clear copper amber body with a medium creamy tan head. Sweet floral hop aroma with light caramel. Sweet citrus and floral hop flavor, more light caramel and a light bitter finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation and an almost creamy ending.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. New Holland certainly has hit Virginia big lately! Pours auburn with a small but persistent head. Aroma is strong barley and piney hops. Very bitter hop taste. Nutty, papery and with a little hint of citrus at the end.
