New Holland: Mad Hatter IPA

If you know me (or have followed this blog at all …), you know that I really like APA/IPAs.  I would classify these styles as my favorite.  I just like that hoppy flavor in these beers.  You can also find my opinion on east coast/west coast versions of these brews.  Today’s beer is neither — it is from New Holland Brewing.

Since they are from Michigan, they don’t seem to fall into the standard classification I’ve described before.  This particular IPA, the Mad Hatter, stands on its own.  The nose is excellent, and the flavor definitely hits me where I like … right on the Hop taste buds.  I could easily drink lots of this beer … I picked this one up at the Whole Foods store in Springfield, VA.

I am what you would call a little eccentric.  Yes, I’m a beer drinker, but I collect things too (like my Iron Man comic book collection … etc).   I collect Beer Coasters, Bottle Caps, etc.  Sooooo … I took a few pictures of my bottle cap collection.  My daughter and I laid it all out on my bar this evening … here are the pics:

Here’s the challenge — the first one to identify all of the Trappist Beers represented by this collection (hint: there are 21) will win a bottle of Westvleteren 12 (first is determined by date/timestamp on the e-mail).  IMPORTANT: There will be only one winner.  Send your answers to my e-mail: answers@beermentor.com.  I will check your answers and reply back to the winner.  Once someone has won, I will change this blog entry … Have fun.  Oh, here’s a high-def picture to use …

Enjoy!
