I have been looking for Dragon’s Milk Emerald IPA. This New Holland Brewing Dragon’s Milk IPA is an 11% ABV barrel-fermented IPA dry-hopped with Lotus hops and aged in Oak barrels. Dragon’s Milk is a division of New Holland Brewing that does all the barrel aging of their beer and makes bourbon as well (www.newhollandbrew.com)(dragonsmilk.com). This beer can be purchased at Total Wine (http://www.totalwine.com) or on the Dragon’s Milk website. This IPA pours deep orange with a one-finger white head. The aroma is hoppy, citrus, and vanilla. The flavor is a combination of orange and vanilla, and it is strong and bitter. This beer has a full mouthfeel. Then it comes to a vanilla boozy finish with small amounts of citrus flavor. This IPA has a boozy vanilla oak aftertaste that lingers just long enough. This IPA sounds interesting when I heard about it on social media, and it is. It does taste almost like an 11% ABV beer, but the hops help it not taste like 11%. It has good barrel flavors without being overly oaky. I think Dragon’s Milk Emerald is an A, and I recommend it! Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
