New Holland Mad Hatter India Pale Ale

June 30, 2009 · Posted in 12 Beers 

Slightly hazy copper color. Impressive head which really stays around and leaves a bunch of lace on the glass. More than lace really, it's so thick.
Very hoppy aroma, pine and grapefruit.
Good hoppy bitterness, not overwhelming to the palate though. I probably expected more from an "American" IPA, but it was nice to not have it fall on the extreme end of the bitterness scale.
The hops do hang around, even though I'd say it has a fairly dry and clean finish to it.
Overall rating: 4.3
