New Holland Mad Hatter Ale

Brewed by New Holland Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Holland, Michigan USA

Pours a dark orange amber with a finger and half of tight off white head. Smells strongly citrus and pine. Tastes bitter but slightly more sour than I would have liked. A medium body with a slightly creamy texture with average carbonation. A kind of astringent finish.

pours a deep yellow with a 2 finger frothy white head which falls to a nice 1/4" head throughout… English malt forward bitter aromas… medium body with more deep caramel malts, lingering citrus hops, creamy body, low carbonation, very smooth overall… somewhat bitter finish but ends on the malt side.

Bottle. Aroma spruce, lime and lemon. Very bitter, not balanced enough, but refreshing and easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle; pours light orange with faint chill haze and thin white head with bubbles to the edges; mild aromas of honey, light grassy hops, bread; thin texture with light fruity hops, lemons, stale malt; a little sticky on the finish to let you know the bitterness is there; raw sugar, honey and stale hops; not bad, but doubt this bottle is very fresh b/c there’s not much to the hop profile

12 oz bottle. I beg to differ with the "insanely dry hopped" description. Pours a pale copper brown. Aroma is faint floral and citrus, pretty bland with a metallic scent. Same goes for taste, blah, hints of grapefruit, not very bitter, was expecting much more of a hop profile. I guess this would be a good IPA for newbies to the style, but definitely not preferable to hop heads.

Pours a golden orange color with a thin, tan, foamy head. Aroma of hops. Taste is bitter and hoppy with a touch of fruitiness. Not a bad IPA

Pours a thin head. Hoppy aroma. Taste is bitterness then carbonation with a more bitter aftertaste. There’s also a light sweetness to it. The beer is quite cleansing.
