New Glarus Hop Hearty Ale

A much maltier version of an IPA. Still good, but different. Looks more like an Oktoberfest beer than an IPA. More head than a usual IPA. Smoother finish, but still gives enough of a hop kick to be worth drinking. Truly the most unigue IPA I’ve ever had.

Pours a hazy honey color with a thick marshmallow head. Smell of hops and pine. Flavor is of toast, hop and pine. A decent hop but not my cup of tea.

Pours a burned orange amber with big fluffy head that dies slowly to a thick layer and laces along the sides. Lively carbonation. Smells of hops, malt, caramel, fig. Tastes of hops but is very well balanced with some biscuity characters, malt and finishes midly bitter. Feels a little thin in the mouth and is highly drinkable. A delicious, very well balanced IPA.

Beer pours an amber color with a rich creamy head, lacing lasts throughout. Strong hop aroma as you would expect, the smell lures you right into the beer. Taste is of hops and almost perfectly so. Mouthfeel, seems just about right, I do not know what could make it better. Drinkability is definately high, an evening of these would be almost unimaginably good. Yum.

light orange color with good sized head. Nice hop aroma. The taste was of piny hops , some toast,and light caramel. Weird fizzy finish.

12 oz bottle. Poured amber with a thin head. Good hop aroma. Piney hop flavors are the most evident although hints of caramel and toffee come through. Overall this one was a bit thinner then I would have liked.

Pours a beautiful head that leaves a great lacing that’s practically stuck to the side of my glass. It has a clear golden brown dark color. The taste is a very piney hop smell that has a very sweet tang to it. It tastes just like it smells. The mouthfeel is watery.

Poured a clear orange color with a sticky tan head. Mild earthy hop and yeast on the nose. Flavors are pine, toasted malts, pepper, and carmel. A little thin and dry.
