The Story? I hadn't even been back from NOLA (tons of posts coming) for 24 hours, when I saw our friends at The Westy post that they'd tapped New England's Sea Hag and it was ready for consumption. I'd told myself I'd stay in and be productive, but after a four-day conference, a flight, and a long day back... why not?
The Beer? Very much the little brother of Gandhi-Bot. Semi-translucent gold with a blip of fluffy head and a nice sweet citrus hop & floral nose.
Down the hatch, this IPA has a very smooth mouthfeel, followed by a hop bitterness that cuts sharp, but fades before the finish. Sea Hag is quite clean for the IBU level.
Plentiful, deliciously strong pine notes are ever present with some woody & botanical elements to the flavor. A dryness builds in the finish, but never overpowers the flavors while the head laces down the sides of the glass. A solid IPA worth going back for!
