This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Samuel Adams Wicked Hazy IPA.
As mentioned in a the review of the Samuel Adams Wicked Easy Lager, the Boston Beer folks are now using the word "wicked" in connection with multiple beers, including the Wicked Easy Lager (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/05/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-wicked.html), the Wicked Hazy IPA and Wicked Double NEIPA (which I really would love to find).
As explained by the experts at BA about the New England IPA style:
Emphasizing hop aroma and flavor without bracing bitterness, the New England IPA leans heavily on late and dry hopping techniques to deliver a bursting juicy, tropical hop experience. The skillful balance of technique and ingredient selection, often including the addition of wheat or oats, lends an alluring haze to this popular take on the American IPA.
This beer is an exceptionally juicy IPA, climbing into the Voodoo Ranger stratosphere of juicy IPAs. This would hold up well with stews and other smoky meat dishes such as bbq, in case you are looking to have one on July 4th. With good carbonation, decent lacing and a fruity, hoppy, scent which sticks with you from beginning to end, this is a beer you want to buy a six pack of.
At 6.8% abv the beer was high in alcohol for an average IPA, but the alcohol taste was not heavy. Still, I get the feeling that 2-3 of these would give a real buzz.
The Wicked Easy New England IPA is under the Kosher Supervision of the Star-K and has a Star-K certification mark on the can. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link - www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/528771/.
As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
