Styled after an English IPA but brewed with distinctly American hops, it’s citrusy, refreshing, and perfectly balanced as perfect on a Cape Cod beach as it is in a VT ski lodge or Boston dive bar. It feels chewy but very spritzy as you drink, ending with a clean, dry finish, leaving just a shade of orange essence long after.Ī floral take on the traditional Belgian White style, this is an incredibly easy to drink beer, perfect for social lubrication at your next summer get-together. Harpoon IPA New England’s Original IPA As enjoyable today as it was in ‘93, IPA is a regional favorite and a craft beer classic. It is a deceptively complex flavor, but remains unassuming, thirst-quenching and mild. Next time I’ll have to add an orange slice as recommended. Sour and thirstquenching, you can taste the citrus flavors along with a strong wheat backbone and just the right amount coriander spice following up. I was able to easily pick out the orange and the lemon in the beer – unlike other Belgian White beers, UFO White doesn’t rely heavily on orange alone for the citrus. It’s a truly different drink for dark-beer and IPA fans alike and a three-time gold-medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival. It gives off the typical aroma of a wheat beer with citrus and coriander, with the addition of a few other tropical fruits I could not place. I make a pilgrimage to the local packey about once a month to re-stock the old fridge. As always, this legendary Black Rye IPA offers toasty malted rye flavors with complex textures and a refined bittered finish. You can see and hear the beer fizzing wildly with the strong carbonation. With a hazy, golden orange hue, the UFO White from Harpoon Brewery pours with large, foamy white head, leaving minor lacing after fully dissipating.
