Yesterday we did Harpoon rye Ipa today White IPA This one is lower in Alcohol only 6.2 ABV and has a very definite citrus flavour better lacing on the glass. The citrus would most likely cut through a summer thirst better. Both could be enjoyed in different circumstances. the important thing to take from this is that both can be enjoyed!Now the official word:
It’s been almost three decades since we brewed our first IPA, and we’ve continued to experiment with new interpretations of a beloved style. For The Long Thaw we wanted to brew a beer that could carry us through the January cold while hinting at warmer days ahead. A favorite beer at the brewery, Harpooners made it clear we wanted this one in the Harpoon 30-Pack.
The Long Thaw White IPA style blends the spiciness of a Belgian Wit and the American hop character of an IPA.
