New England Sea Hag IPA

New England Brewery gives proof once again that a micro brewery that can can will can. With a large selection of their beers sold only in cans, New England Brewery brings us their Sea Hag IPA.
The can pops with a hiss and hop aromas jump out to tickle and tease my nose as I pour her liquid golden amber blessing into my glass. Rich oily hops breathe orange and lemon essence, and with the first sip, hop bite and scamper across my tongue and through my mouth. A veritable hop explosion, but with a soft side for when I don’t want to overly assault my hop senses. Sea Hag glides down my throat with a light body and bright biting hints of orange, lemon, hop oils as they coat my tongue, and a bit of malt sweetness kicking in near the end. Sea Hag mellows a bit as she warms, allowing the overall palate to smoothly blend.
For someone looking for a good IPA that is neither a hop assault nor a weak imitation, grab yourself a Sea Hag, maybe even a real hag, and enjoy.

can poured a lightly orange amber color with a one finger off white head that fell to a thin layer on the surface. aroma has nice peach citrus hops, caramel malt that the hops run all over, fresh cut grass, and clover. medium light on the tongue with average carbonation. really nice hop profile that is not too citrus or resinous and brings in a richness. caramel malt underlying keeps it tied together and it finishes with grass and light bitterness at the sides of the tongue. good for an event that bottles are not allowed but at this price point there is much better to be had.

Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville NC - not sure who brought the can. Amber pour off white head with some spotty lace. Lots of cascade hops all over this. very nice

i got a 6 pack of this, it came in cans, and i was wondering, how good could canned beer possibly taste!? it was delicious

can. dark orange pour. mild caramel and malt aroma. earthy grass, light citrus, caramel and toasted malt taste. good even bitter finish. more of an english style IPA.

Can, RBESG08 grand tasting
My first canned IPA, aww. Slightly hazy amber body, ok white head. Notes of caramel in the nose, bit chalky, aroma hops. Ok nough. Slightly aggressive bitterness, aroma hops. Nice soft maltiness. A good IPA.

Can from jjpm74 and RCL. Aroma is pretty toasty with some grassy and earthy hops. Pours a hazy orange amber with a thin lasting head. Soft malty sweeness, toast, earth, pine, and grass come through in the flavor. A soft bitterness lingers for a while. A smooth drinking beer.

Sampled at the RBESG08 grand tasting. Hazy amber, medium off-white head. Earthy malt aroma with some strange hops. Soft mouthfeel. dry and bitter.
