Monday Night Brewing, an Atlanta-based brewing company that emerged from a small Bible study before deciding to spread the gospel of beer and community, has launched a delicious dry-hopped IPA that is designed to offer a satisfyingly hoppy drinking experience whilst also maintaining a low alcohol percentage and low calorie count, which will be of interest to people looking to recover from holiday season excesses.
The 'Lay Low' craft beer is hopped with Idaho 7, Sultana and Citra hops, giving it a citrus-tinged aroma and flavor. However, what's unique about this low-alcohol craft IPA is the fact that it doesn't feel or taste overly diluted, but rather maintains a good degree of flavor and drinkability. This allows consumers to enjoy the brew without feeling bloated.
In the words of Monday Night Brewing's brewmaster Peter Kiley, this dry-hopped IPA is "one of those beers you want to keep stocked in the fridge" because it "has plenty of hop aroma and flavor, but you won’t feel full after having a few.”
