A Note on This Beer

I think it's only a matter of time before the "West England IPA" catches on.

This ingenious style is a cross between a gushingly juicy New England-style hazy and a clean, pine-forward West Coast-style hopbomb!

In the wrong hands of course, merging these two could spell disaster. Thankfully, Austin Brothers Beer Co. takes the helm to create today’s West England IPA. 

Even in beer-soaked Michigan, this family-run brewery slays the hop game. Co-owner and brewer Brant Austin honed his craft at California’s Ballast Point and Mother Earth. Both PureMichigan and BetterOnDraft.com call out Austin’s IPAs as a Must-Try! 

To craft West England, Austin dry-hopped the brew with “ungodly amounts” of Amarillo, Galaxy, and Citra for New England-style tropical juiciness. Then, in West Coast-style fashion, they filtered it for clean crispness. 

The flavorful results are remarkable. Each sip brims with bright, lush notes of apricot, passionfruit, and pineapple, finishing with a refreshing twist of lemon and whispers of grassy pine forest. 

As @Mandy B. says, it “Tastes exactly like a blend of West Coast and NEIPA. Thumbs up!”

Not bad, a little different. More IPA than NEIPA.

In this case, the sum is not greater than its parts. Doesn’t do standard (West Coast) IPA nor NEIPA well and the marriage of the two isn’t anything special. I’d take a solid West Coat IPA or NEIPA any day over this. Cool idea, mediocre result.

Decent enough, but as others have noted it doesn’t really offer the best qualities of either West Coast or NE IPAs - more like a subdued version of either/both.

It’s not amazing but if you show up with a 12 pack of this to a party you’re going to make good friends.

I do have to say this reminds me of IPAs before they became so popular. A classic full but not in your face flavor.

Daily corona battle. Beautiful day full of entertaining small humans edition. This is an interesting style mix as promised. Hazy juicy and touch of apricot sweet, with an old school crispness and piney finish. Not mind blowing, but unique and I like it.

Slight haze, slight syrup. Great marriage of styles, with a bready & malty foundation that hints at Old Speckled Hen. Finishes clean and herbal, with a hint of pine as it fades.

My take? They’ve filtered out all the character of the NEIPA.
