🌍 United States · New England IPA · One of 40 New England IPAs in hopIQ

Boxing Bear's hazy IPA — soft, juicy, peach and nectarine hop character up front, and a creamy oat body that carries the finish without any bite. A New Mexico take on the New England template, done with the pillow-soft mouthfeel and low bitterness the style requires. Headlock grips and doesn't let go.

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
