Six States New England IPA (Morrisons) By @SpectreUK

Six States  New England IPA


I haven't had Schnitzels for quite sometime. I used to have them quite regularly, but they can take quite a bit of energy to bash when homemade, or find in the supermarket. I'm being treated to homemade Schnitzels tonight with potato salad, tomato salad, and a green salad. That all sounds pretty healthy, I'm sure you're thinking, so I'm going to wash it down with this New England style white Indian Pale Ale.

This 5.7% in volume Six States has promise of refreshing tropical hops, as well as citrus peel and spices from coriander seeds infused in the brewing. This hazy New England IPA was heavily dry-hopped, so it shouldn't be too bitter, having a smooth flavour with sweetness and body from added wheat and oats.

On opening the can I could hear bashing pork (I'll leave that to your imagination) in preparation of the Schnitzels in the kitchen below. There was quite a strong tropical fruity hop aroma to the slightly murky golden brew as I poured it. On taste Six States is strong with tropical hops, and not too bitter, with a little coriander spice. There was sweetness from the malts and wheat into the aftertaste, and a hearty filling from the added oats. This New England style IPA washed down my Schnitzels and accompanying salads rather well indeed. I'm looking forward to having it all again very soon.
