Greenpoint Tosser’s Folley

English IPA—the beer style that spawned the endless array of hoppy beer that we know and love today. And yet, when’s the last time you had a real English IPA? That’s the question we asked ourselves. And then we thought, if we can’t find the real thing, why not make one? English IPA has always been a bit of an enigma, more mythos than hard and fast rules. Ours sticks to tradition, with a bit of American craft beer flare. Brewed with Maris Otter and a touch of Crystal malts, “Burtonized” brewing water, and a healthy dose of East Kent Goldings, Phoenix, and Challenger hops. The resulting IPA is floral and spicy on the nose, with green fruit, citrus and hints of black tea following suit. Bitter up front, but balanced by a malty, mineral-rich backbone. A refreshingly different and satisfying IPA experience!
