At the February club meeting – in addition to sampling some amazing home brewed Bock beers – Nate Pahl presented the next club project, hazy IPA also known as New England IPA (NEIPA). This style is known for the hazy appearance, fruity and hoppy flavors. We sampled Kibg Sue from Topping Goliath, Vroom Vroom from Sixth Sense, Academy of Doom from Falling Knife, Hazy Headlines from Masthead, and Padding the Roof from Nowhere in Particular. Nate also shared a recipe.
