New England Sea Hag IPA

Can. A hazy amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, and grass. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as grassy hoppy notes.

(Can 35,5 cl) Courtesy of madsberg. Slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head. Fresh, lightly citrusy aroma. Medium body, lightly sweet caramel and a somewhat unrefined and one-dimensional hopping. So the promises of the aroma aren’t really fullfilled. 270607

Hazy amber. The aroma is chewy with caramel malts followed by spicy hop. Lots of spicy hop on the palate, and a huge stack of stale, chewy malts. I like the noble hop idea, but the malts are terrible.
