The year of our lord 2020 has been a doozy, and on this can I would like to recognize the educators. This here is a beer for you: generously and frequently hopped with Citra, Loral, and Mosaic, this beer packs a punch. A hoppy, boozy punch. Rich with tropical aroma and flavor, and a touch on the hazy side. Pairs well with late staff meetings, tech snafus, upended expertise, existential crisis, and ongoing complications.
You’ve got this, teachers. We’re with you. It’ll get better.

Lucy & Howe Brewing Co. IPA New England / Hazy
Crisp and then smooth touch. Sharp and peppery, earthy and grainy hop are old-school style bold but using three very contemporary strains: Citra (zesty) Local (tangy floral) and Mosiac (earth spice). It's a step away from the thick NE hazies. Crispy bite. Medium bitterness with a dry, leafy finish. I dig.

Draught. Good hazy IPA. No particular flavors jump out. Slightly spicey.

16 ounce can.
Born on 12/13/21.
5 days old!
Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a bright light golden body with sticky lacing.
Nose of tropical fruit with a hint of sweet citrus and a floral character as well.
Taste mirrors nose somewhat with a nice, gentle bitterness throughout.
Very well balanced and easy drinking 7.7%er.
Nice feel with tinier bubbles than most Imperial IPA offerings.
Overall, seek this one out as it unique these days with its rare brightness.
Cheers!!
