New Belgium Accumulation White IPA seasonal beer ($9 for a six-pack) takes a distinctly different approach to seasonal winter beers – skipping the heavily brewed dark winter brews in favor of an India Pale Ale packed with citrus and spice hop aromas. It’s big and bitter with a hint of sweetness, while a touch of wheat lends itself to a smooth mouthfeel.
In honor of the 10 inches of snow currently sitting in my driveway, may I present to you the New Belgium Accumulation White IPA seasonal beer ($9 for a six-pack). Forget what you think you know about seasonal winter beers – this is anything but another heavily brewed dark winter concoction. Instead, Accumulation White IPA is an India Pale Ale packed with citrus and spice hop aromas. It’s big and bitter with a hint of sweetness, while a touch of wheat lends itself to a smooth mouthfeel. Pair it with Mexican to warm up on a cold winter night or drink it by itself; either way, there’s no better way to revel in the joys of winter than with a tasty seasonal brew.
