New Holland Brewery

Apparently not all the breweries in Michigan open before noon :-) so we started in Grand Haven and dropped down to Holland to hit the New Holland Brewery. There are a couple more breweries in Grand Haven so we'll drive back up there here in a bit. Then back here to Holland for a couple more before heading on south. Our flight here at New Holland had their white sour ale, IPA, white pale ale and Michigan pale ale. Those of you who know Terri know she's big into sour beers right now...and lucky for her a lot of places are making them. The white sour here was 4% ABV, so a l ither sour...a session sour if you will. It had plenty of sour flavor...not sweet at all. Terri liked it :-) Next up was the IPA - which exploded with piney flavor....which I love. This is probably the best IPA we've had on the trip and honestly one of the best I've had. Period. White ales aren't generally our favorite, but New Holland's was very good. It had a pleasant fruity citrus flavor - nothing like your run of the mill Shocktop or Blue Moon. This was a much lighter brew by comparison....more drinkable. Very good. So far we're 3 for 3 here :-) Last up was the Michigan pale ale.  Again, very good. A session pale ale, it was very light...but still had strong fruity piney flavor. More than just a milder version of their main IPA lighter in several ways. Very drinkable. Why could easily sit here and have a few pints of all these beers. But then we'd never make it to the next place!
