I come from a land down under

For National IPA Day we bring you PARADOX BREWERY's SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE DOUBLE IPA.  As the beer style of Northeast IPA (NEIPA) cultivates the super juicy citrus flavor many of us have come to love, brewers are turning to hops grown in New Zealand and Australia. Southern hemisphere hops bring tropical and overwhelmingly bright, fruity characteristics to the party.

in this beer, PARADOX uses hops from the southern hemisphere plus oats to get their magical liquid gold. It is playing around with the ratios of hops as well as adding other ingredients that make the proprietary differences that change the notes from one craft brewer to the next. Paradox has captured the ideal formula to produce a quintessential Northeast IPA.

The pour gives a fluffy, foamy head.  Initially you are hit with the bitter citrus flavors that quickly change to more sweet mango notes.  It ends with a mellow mouth feel. It's sweeter than other NEIPAs, but that's not a bad thing. 

NEIPAs made with southern hemisphere hops tend to bring the citrus tang, but PARADOX has crafted a particularly excellent example of that variety.  Another perfect summer beer for your weekend!  

HAPPY NATIONAL IPA to all!
