The Prep Kitchen Restaurant Group approached New English to see if we'd make a special beer for their 5th anniversary... We rose to the challenge and this beer is a result.
To make a beer different from anything else we brew, we selected UK Golden Promise as 100% of the base malt, Carapils and light crystal malts.
We decided that 6.5% ABV was the sweet spot. Not too over the top, but not a session beer either. To ensure enough bitterness to be a west coast style IPA, we set the IBUs at 75, achieved with Nugget and Centennial as the early kettle additions.
Flavor and aroma come from late kettle additions of Citra and Mosaic, with loads more of both these wonderful hops added as dry hops in the fermenter.
