New England IPA

A Modern Ballad of Self-Discovery, a New England IPA I took to a bottle share in Austin, Texas, was a hit there. This Burial Beer Co.

This beer I found and purchased from Total Wine (https://www.totalwine.com/?gclsrc=aw.ds&&pid=cpc:Brand%2BUS%2BNCAR%2BENG%2BSPART%2BEXT::google::&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=114788005&gclid=CjwKCAjwwqfABhBcEiwAZJjC3pEgvYBUmcUpSoO-xncFI8FFgvznSB1X-jAU5XvMpDZwNswPSTGebxoCIjEQAvD_BwE). This IPA pours a hazy yellow with a two-finger white head. It has a light cloudiness to it. The aroma is fruity with orange and some grapefruit. It is bittersweet and layered. The aroma has some depth to it. The flavor is Creamy, fruity with oranges, and has a nice amount of bitterness. This has a medium feel in the mouth. This beer has a hoppy and bitter fruity finish. The aftertaste is slightly less bitter with less pungent fruit flavors and a nice creamy texture. A Modern Ballad of Self-Discovery is a good beer that I give an A+. You don’t want to miss A Modern Ballad of Self-Discovery. I recommend it! It has great creamy fruity bitter flavors that all complement each other, so well, and come together into a fabulous IPA. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This is an IPA from Aslin Beer Co. Washington D.C. This IPA is Power Moves purchased from my local Whole Foods. This IPA is 5.5% ABV. This New England IPA has Chinook, Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic hops. This IPA pours yellow with a one-finger fizzy white head. The aroma is soft/juicy pineapple and some bitterness. The flavor is juicy pineapple, bitterness and some light melon, This is light on the palate. Then you get a light tropical bitter fruit finish. The aftertaste is bitter but just enough for you to know that it’s there. This Power Moves is good. and I give this a B-. At first, it was average, but the more I drank the better it got, and yeah I recommend this. But I don’t see much of Aslin Beer Co.’s products. Also, I don’t see many New England IPAs with an ABV as low as 5.5%. I think that’s good. I find most to be 6.8% to 7.8% ABV. With that and the flavor not so much, it makes this a good session beer. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This beer is Galaxy 2 Ways from Collective Arts Brewing. This beer is named because of the Galaxy and Galaxy Spectrum hops in this New England India pale ale (NEIPA). This IPA is 6.6% ABV.

Then this IPA comes to a nice bitter, tropical, citrusy finish. Then you get an aftertaste of bitter citrus, pineapple, and light spruce. This beer is so delicious, and it gets an A+. This beer is the third I’ve had from Collective Arts, and I like this brewery. I recommend this beer. It has all the good fruity bitterness you want from this NEIPA. It’s not overly bitter. It has just the right amount. This Galaxy 2 Way is balanced NEIPA. Please stay safe, be kind to everyone, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

The M-43 IPA finishes with a nice bittersweet fruity flavor that lingers into the aftertaste. This beer has on Instagram, but I’ve never really seen it here in North Carolina. But I was browsing through my local grocery store there it was. It is not bad. The oat malts used here really make this beer unique. I give this a B+. It needs just a MORE fruity flavor to pump it up to an A. But I found Old Nation Brewing Company Ne Orthodox India Pale Ale Series M-43 India Pale Ale to be good and tasty. I recommend that you find Old Nation Brewing Company Ne Orthodox India Pale Ale Series M-43 India Pale Ale and give it a try. Please be kind, be safe and enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

This is a good beer and not overly sweet like some of the New England style IPAs. This is an A.
