New England Sea Hag IPA

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

Crystal clear, dark coppery-hued body, barely any head at all. Pleasant hoppy, mildly sweet with honey and malty aroma. The honey-sweetness carries into the flavor, but it is actually a tad too sweet for me. Good hop balance with a soft array of malts. Tasty overall.

Can courtesy of HogTownHarry. Hazy orange-copper with a medium white head. Aroma and flavour are both nicely balanced - fairly big orange peel hops, but enough caramel malt to keep things in line. Medium bodied. A solid IPA, really enjoyable.

She got cans, she knows how to use them. This hag never begs, she knows how to choose them. She pours dark reddish amber, pretty clear but dark enough to allow only medium clarity. So she shows you a lot but only in the right light. What a tease. At first this hag gives a big head but as usually after a little bit of time it just becomes a medium lacing with slight stickiness. Aroma is what seems to almost have become common place now with American IPAs. Hoppiness mixed with caramel maltiness. Hops are tropical fruit and caramel is pretty strong. Taste takes the idea but mixes the two elements very well. Medium bitterness throughout all the flavor. Light earthy roastiness at the end of the flavor. Aftertaste is sweet hops and bittered caramel. Man this hag likes to tease you with sweetness and bitterness. A perfectly medium body with light tickling on the roof of the mouth.

Another microbrewer putting their product in a can. Hopefully this brewer will brew good beer and this is just not a marketing ploy. Deep copper body topped by a very nice dense manila head. Looks lovely and I can not wait to dig in. The aroma is grapefruit, sweet caramel, and some nuttiness. The flavor exhibits some nut brown characteristics which is totally unexpected. Good hop, malt balance. A bin wanting in the palate. Good lingering hoppiness. Decent stuff all around, though the nuttiness is not something that I love.

Thanks to the Captain for this one. A very nice aroma of hops from a can. Citrusy hops but also not over done as there is still some sweet malts here. A nice can of beer.

Wow, now this beer pours with authority! Nice amber, candy colored body with frothy tan head that just sticks around. Aroma is quite pleasant, lots of fresh hops and sweetness-perfect for a hot summer day. Palate is a little thinner than I had surmised by the appearance and aroma, and quite biting. Taste is a little metallic, but nothing terrible. Overall a decent IPa...in a can.

Can from World of Beer, FL. Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hoppy and malt aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and flat carbonation. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy bitter finish of medium to long duration. This is a standout brew.

Can. Another IPA in a can? Sure, why not? Brig ’em on! Pours a clear orange-amber with a huge lasting frothy off-white head. Nice lacing. Good looking beer. Mild but nice aroma of caramel malt and citrus hops. Flavour of toasted malt, pine & citrus hops and a slightly bitter finish -- all nicely balanced and easy to drink. Medium bodied. Definitely one of the better IPAs in a can -- recommended!
