Eagle Park Things We Don't Say New England IPA

Eagle Park Things We Don't Say New England IPA.

6 % ABV. Eagle Park Brewing, Milwaukee, WI. 


All hazified, the way the kids like it these days, golden toned, large ivory head atop, leaving lace. 

In the nose: Highly hopped. Big citrus, and, something else? What is it? Onions? Spruce tips? Quite piney, to be sure. I'm a little baffled. 

In the mouth: Just a little juicy, edging into dry, afterwards. Big hop flavors, low bitterness, just the way they do it. Soft and smooth. I'm still getting that onion-y thing, along with tree branch stuff. Loads of citrus, hogging the spotlight. I'm not the world's biggest fan of this one, but it's okay. It's alright. 

And it's for a good cause!

This beer is a collaborative effort to break the silence around mental health in the craft beer industry, to remind brewers and customers: IT'S OK NOT TO BE OK. We would like to thank Hope For The Day, Malteurop Malting Company, Hollingbery & Sons Hops, and the more than 170 participating breweries for joining us on this project! 

I do wish there was specific information about this specific beer. What is giving off that odd flavor?
