Happy New Beer
A fruity IPA with lovely malt fullness, dry-hopped with Simcoe from God's own country. Happy New Beer is meant to kick off a good party, also at parties in the new year. It is brewed by Hvide Sande Bryghus in the former fish-packing warehouse on the harbour, which master brewer Niels Sangill, born and raised in the town, started in 2018.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Happy New Beer
Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.
The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.

Finding a similar IPA
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same fruity, malty, hoppy character as Happy New Beer will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
