The Story: Brewed in Framingham, Massachusetts, Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company's flagship New England IPA was playfully dubbed "catnip for humans" by its creators. The brewing team set out to capture the sensory experience of standing in a lush hop farm during late summer, surrounded by the warm, moist air and the vibrant aroma of freshly picked hop cones. To achieve this, they built a smooth, bready malt foundation and generously hopped the brew with a meticulously calibrated blend of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops. It quickly became the brewery's most iconic offering, earning a devoted local following for its perfectly balanced, fruit-forward profile.
Why You'll Love Me: It is a vibrant, incredibly approachable hazy IPA that delivers beautiful, juicy fruit flavors without an aggressively bitter bite. It pours a cloudy, pale golden-yellow in the glass beneath a persistent, fluffy white head. The nose instantly bursts with an inviting bouquet of juicy tangerine, ripe mango, fresh pineapple, and a touch of sweet melon. On the palate, a soft, creamy texture gracefully carries a heavy wave of tropical citrus and stone fruit. Instead of finishing with a harsh, resinous sting, a delicate malt backbone provides perfect balance, allowing the juicy hops to shine through a smooth, delightfully soft finish that completely lives up to its playful name.
