No matter where a thing comes from, it has become “Jersey” when it’s balanced an intrinsic “awesome” and a defining edge. Playing this beer game for a while, we’ve found that Atlantic Highlands water and Kolsch yeast make a decidedly Jersey-version of the plush modern IPA’s we are all so in love with, enhancing a bit of inherent bitter tension. In the NJ IPA series, we take malts and hops that we know we love together and give them this Jersey treatment. In We’ll Walk in the Sun, look for the trio of orange-forward hops Mandarina Bavaria, Mosaic, and Waimea on a Maris and Pilsner malt bill with orange zest to give it a uniquely lean depth.
