Back for a cold one
I missed on my Saturday beer post last week, so I was adamant to get a virtual beer this week. I've a nice tasty New England IPA on the menu this week.
The White Hag Atlantean New England IPA
What they say
Our Atlantean beer is inspired by mythological sea journeys which took curious voyagers beyond the ninth wave in search of the magical Otherworlds and the secret treasures they held. For this IPA our inspiration has travelled back from the other lands of New England across the cloudy foam of the Atlantic.
DESCRIPTION
In this creamy and cloudy IPA we use copious amounts of American hops to add a big, juicy, fruity punch. Oats and lactose add a rich creaminess that subdues the bitterness, making this beer similar to a hopshake. Drink this beer as fresh as possible, when all the Alpha & Beta oils from the hops are the most powerful.
TASTING NOTES
New England IPAs are beers that are purposely hazy or cloudy, which can give these brews a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with little to no hop bitterness at the end utilizing hops that impart a tropical, juicy sweetness rather than the classic bitter.

Thoughts
This went down lovely with a some spicy chicken Fajitas. Beer and fajitas! Whats not to like, eh!
It poured a nice hazy color with a head that disappeared quickly. The fruity hoppy notes were there to be appreciated. I love a nice hoppy IPA that packs a little punch.
The Grade
3.5/5
