New England Sea Hag IPA

Brewed by New England Brewing Co.
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Woodbridge, Connecticut USA

nice IPA on tap at delaneys and also had in 12oz can. Very nice nose and great maltly taste.

12 oz can. New England Brewing Company, was a favorite of mine when I lived in NE, and it is nice to see them make a push into the Mid-Atlantic. Sea Hag IPA is an excellent IPA with lots of good hop aromas and bitterness, on an excellent, malty base. This beer pours to a rich, bright, deep amber, with a thick, creamy, off white head, and a good carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent with really fragrant aromas of pine and citrus, paired with some pale and sweet malt. The palate on this beer is firm, with lots of good pale and caramel malt flavors, paired with a nice under tone, of juicy, estery fruit flavor. Sea Hag finishes with more good pale and caramel malt up front, then end with a very good, piney/citrus hop bite that lingers. Very well done IPA with great hop and malt character. I like the fact that New England Brewing cans their beers, and Sea Hag IPA is a welcome addition to my beer fridge.

Deliciously hoppy aroma. Fine chestnut body. Surprisingly depth of flavour with hops, malt, molasses... Good stuff.

This is a SOLID IPA. It has great hoppy notes along with a deep rich color. I can get floral notes aloing with some caramel and chocloate flavors....KILLA!

Thanks to jjpm for this one. It pours a nice dark coppery ruby color with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is hops, some fruit, some caramel malt. Tastes briskly hoppy, with a slightly piney, slightly fruity, citrusy, very crisp hop flavor, coupled with a well balanced caramel malt presence. This is another outstanding canned pale ale variant. I’ve had more great canned beers this year than the previous 20. I’d walk down the street at night in Harlem for a case of this.

Dark orange color with a head that is more tan than off-white, it looks tasty. It smells hoppy without being piney or fruity. The flavor is much more malty and chewy than I would expect from an IPA but I like it a lot. The weird thing about this beer is it feels like a low ABV barleywine in my mouth with a chewy toffee flavor, the hops are there but this is just weird. I wonder how fresh this can is but I guess it doesn’t matter since it tastes good. This IPA is not what I am used to but I sure am enjoying it, recommended.

12oz can. Pours hazy amber in color with full foamy off white head. Aroma of floral hops. Taste of hops and malt with bitter after taste.

Pretty impressed. Poured a slightly hazy very dark copper color with a medium off-white head. Decent amount of fresh piney hop. Smells like somebody dropped a hop pellet into my beer. Strong malt caramel notes right behind the hops. Nice mix of big fresh pine, citrus and malt. So much fresh hop it kept making me sneeze. Medium bodied with a nice mouthfeel. The flavors finishes with some sweetness and mild bitterness.
