Tasting Notes

The Allagash Brewing Company has been consistently cited as one of the greatest American craft breweries. Since opening their doors in 1995, Allagash has become one of the most acclaimed and influential craft breweries in America. Their flagship beer, Allagash White, makes up 85% of total production and is widely considered one of the best examples of the style outside of Belgium. The other 15% of production spans American craft styles like IPAs and Stouts, as well as world-class spontaneously fermented and barrel aged beers.
Bishop’s Cellar is extremely proud to introduce this producer to Nova Scotia for the first time!
Tasting Notes
Hop Reach IPA pours a hazy yellow/orange colour with an off-white head of foam. Aromas bloom with zesty citrus notes, sweet orange juice, peach and mango notes to balance out the floral herbaceous notes. The palate is rich in flavour that leads into a smooth, balanced finish with ample bitterness to round out the profile. Somewhere between West Coast and a New England IPA, Hop Reach is one of the most well-rounded IPA’s in the fridge right now.
Method
After almost 2 years of in-house R&D, countless trial batches, and many staff voting sessions, Hop Reach IPA was added to the Allagash roster as the brewery’s first year-round IPA offering. Sharing profile aspects from both West Coast IPA, and New England IPA styles. Hop Reach is brewed with Nugget, Mosaic, Idaho 7, Cascade, Citra, Cashmere, El Dorado hops.
