HAD 82: New England-Style IPA
It’s a style episode again, so what do we have this time? Why can’t I see through this? This isn’t a stout. I can smell the hops, and IPAs are suppose to be clear. Or are they. It’s time we focus on a new addition to the Brewers Association styles, and talk about the New England-style IPA. So get ready for some arguments about the words juicy and hazy, while we have a drink.

Brewery’s description: If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. But are you crazy enough?

The sea swallows the Sun. And who knows if it rises again. Vaya con dios.
