New Realm Brewing, a craft distillery and brewery that runs its flagship brewery out of Atlanta, has released a monstrously hoppy double IPA that makes a stunning visual impression due to can art revolving around the minotaur creature from Greek mythology, and then follows that up with a memorably hoppy drinking experience.
The Hazy Like an Ox double IPA, which is being launched as part of the brewery's Monsters & Myths Double IPA series, features generous amounts of El Dorado, Idaho 7 and Azacca varieties of hops.
With a dual dry hopping schedule and the inclusion of a subtle amount of lactose for the sake of sweetness, this is truly a carefully brewed beer that offers a juicy, bitter and complete drinking experience.
