New Holland Mad Hatter IPA



Appearance: pale reddish-brown, very little head.

Smell: moderate hops smell, otherwise mostly odorless.

Taste: full IPA hoppiness, but otherwise unremarkable.

Mouthfeel: Rather watery and slightly chalky. Very little coverage.

Drinkability:
Easy drinking, but the overt hoppiness may be a turnoff, especially if looking for an easy-drinking beer. 

Serving type: Draft

Serving location: Simon's Tavern

Grade:  B- 

Brewer says: "Mad Hatter is an I.P.A. that explodes with hop flavors. Dry-hopping provides a distinctive and floral hop aroma, while the lively and hoppy body is subtly balanced with delicious malt notes. Hatter's hop character makes it a great fit for spicy dishes, bitter greens and beef.

12.5° Plato, Alc. 5.25% by Vol.


26 IBU
