Lost Abbey Merry Taj Double IPA

The name “Merry Taj” pays homage to the holiday celebrations going on from sea to sea, encapsulating the hope of a new year. It’s also a play on a term from the wine world, Meritage, which loosely translated means: a damn fine blend (of hops in this case).

Initial flavors of clean, sweet caramel malt will give way to a citrus dryness and a spicy bitterness on the finish, thanks to the addition of Simcoe hops.

Hops: Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo, Cascade, Simcoe

ABV:
8.5%

Lost Abbey Merry Taj Double IPA

The Lost Abbey wanted to give its brewers (who already make exceptional hoppy beers) a chance to do something with this year’s new hops. Merry Taj IPA was able to take advantage of some of the freshest hops available, harvested in September, and will feature five different varieties (Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo, Cascade, Simcoe) used throughout the brewing process.

Lost Abbey Merry Taj IPA begins with an aroma of crisp floral notes of citrus rind and tropical fruit. Initial flavors of clean sweet caramel malt will give way to a spicy bitterness on the finish thanks to the addition of the Simcoe hops.

The brewing team at The Lost Abbey are certified Hop-Heads at heart and being able to imagine and craft an IPA for the brand was a vision that seemed just out of reach…until now. “We were very excited for the opportunity to make an amazing IPA and even more stoked once we tasted it” said Matt Webster, Lead Brewer of The Lost Abbey. “The sweet caramel notes and spicy finish make Merry Taj IPA a great addition to The Lost Abbey lineup and a perfect holiday beer”.
