What's on the Can: "The great things about this industry is the creativity that resides within it. It's full of innovative brewers that extend the limits of what beer can be. New Money is our take on the exceedingly popular Hazy-Style India Pale Ale. Increased protein content and experimental dry hopping techniques give this style a heavier mouthfeel and juice like aromatics. Each batch contains a different combination of hops and is always evolving, just like this industry. The symbol above is the currency symbol for bitcoin, the newest of global currencies which, like this beer, is an innovative take on currency itself."

Where distributed: As of January 2018, Abnormal Beer distributes within California.

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light burnt orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head and trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Creamy stone fruit with dank/resiny and malty notes. 4/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. A dank/malty stone fruit (peach) experience. Stone fruit continues into the aftertaste. 4/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. This one was selling like hotcakes, and as a result, I was only able to nab one of them instead of two. The flavor was decent here, although I'm more a fan of the citrus orange/tangerine-type of brews. Still a good take on the New England style. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.038/5
