Review: New Belgium Accumulation White IPA (2016)
Colorado-based New Belgium is out with a winter special called Accumulation, a seasonal, Belgian-style IPA.
This combination of pale malt and wheat offers a a malty, bready attack that fades into a chewiness that loads up some crisp apple notes, chocolate, caramel, and a hint of pineapple. The body is moderate in weight and backed by ample hops character — finishing off with a bit of a lemon kick.
All told, it’s a nice way to give IPA a bit of a kick and a seasonal spin.
