No Mates - Nelson Sauvin by Astro Lab Brewing is a New England IPA and was judged as an American IPA (BJCP sub-style 21A). It poured cloudy and light golden into the glass with an impressive white head with moderate retention. Its aroma was subtle and refined with mild hop notes that gave way to apple and white grape. This is a complex and well-balanced beer, restrained in the sense that there is just enough hop bitterness to avoid the cloyingly sweet flavor profiles of many New England IPAs, but not so much that it tastes like just another American IPA. A creamy mouthfeel and moderate alcohol warmth add to the pleasant combination of hop and malt flavors, resulting in an extremely flavorful and delicious beer.
