COASTAL BREW WORKS TROJAN SEAHORSE IPA

August 20, 2022Beers A-ZCOASTAL BREW WORKS, new england ipaJohn Fortunato

On tap at Paragon, ambitiously fruitful flagship NEIPA stays stylishly robust, but retains only slight vanilla creaming despite rich crystal pale malt base. Bright citrus zesting contrasts tartly yogurt-soured tropical fruiting with remarkable clarity. Sweet orange-peeled lemon meringue piquancy, sharp yellow grapefruit bittering and peachy mango tang lean towards a West Coast IPA while sourly salted guava, gooseberry and green grape illusions nod towards a New Zealand-hopped IPA. A heady delight!
