Description
This hazy, New England style IPA’s been crafted by our finest, tight-pants wearing brewers. It’s a blend of wheat and oats, unironically dry hopped with All American hops. Notes of melon, mango and pine lead to flavor so cool it’ll curl your mustache.

Hipster IPA by Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant is a New England IPA, judged as BJCP Category 21B.
This example has a sweet, juicy hop aroma containing notes of pine, mango and other fruit. It pours a milky yellow color and is hazy. The flavor is also hop-dominated, but tastes more of pine and resin than fruity. The hop flavors don’t linger, making each sip a quick hit. It’s pretty bitter, but comes off as quite smooth. This example has a fluffy, highly carbonated texture with low alcohol warmth. Overall, there’s no mistaking that this beer is a NE IPA, but an enhanced, deeper flavor would make this more satisfying.
