Testimonials
"The beer didn't last long. Crowd favorite. Everyone claims it's the best beer I've brewed. In a blind A/B testing against Heady (Topper), one Friday afternoon happy hour in my hood, your recipe won unanimously. Thanks for the great recipe." - York
"This beer is fantastic! My friends actually said they prefer to come over and drink this rather than stand in line at Treehouse." - dward4421
"I used to be a die hard for a bone-dry, 'C' hop-centered IPA. I still love that, but Kal's recipe for the New England IPA is softness, yet big and juicy with Super aroma. It'll be one of the last IPA's you'll ever brew. Serious!" - Tim Brady
"This beer is good. So good in fact I've only made it once because it went so fast it was rather frustrating. Not a huge IPA fan, but this was easily one the best IPA that I've had. So good in fact that it makes going out to the bars to try new beer less fun. Other beers are so plain and flavorless now." - Fal
"Have been sampling and I already need to make another batch...between a 2.5 gallon keg for my brother, a 5 gallon keg for me and 2.5 gallons for canning and then sampling... it'll be gone before you know it. Time to step up my game and knock the dust off the 30 gallon boil kettle." - Jerz
Introduction
New England IPA (NEIPA for short) is a newer style of beer that uses many new techniques and ingredients in special combinations to produce a surprisingly juicy beer, brimming with tropical fruit hop flavours and aromas, complimented by a smooth mouthfeel and a hazy appearance. The style showcases the softer side of hops by embracing their juiciest characteristics while downplaying bitterness. It is an incredibly drinkable beer, and since its introduction around 2015 it's been taking the craft brewing world by storm.
The birth of the New England IPA is a bit hazy (Ha! Pardon the pun).
