This is Hoppy Hour's first tasting away from home! It is nice to get fresh air!
My travels have landed me in Acadia in Town Hill, ME at the Atlantic Brewing Company.
I got to try two IPAs here: New Guy IPA and a 04609 Double IPA.
04609 Double IPA
I asked the waitress which of the two IPAs was the hoppiest. She said the double and I orded it.
It was a very bitter beer with what seemed like a wheat base.
I love how smooth it is. I am sitting in 70 degree weather and this is perfectly light. The aftertaste is a medium to mild bitter flavor, but it blends well with the beer
New Guy IPA
I felt bad and realized I needed to give the new guy a try. I ordered my second beer, watched the clouds pass pver me, and bam! My beer was waiting for me.
This was the one!
I am loving the sweetness of this aley fresh brew from the tap. As far as pairings go, spicy sausage and fire roasted chicked are great with this one. The brew immediately puts out the spice.
The owner just ran out with a tray full of food He prepared himself. I haven't seen a smile that big in a while!
If you can't make it out to this brewery, ask your local liquor store to place an order for you. They may do a custom order or group buy.
