New Slang pours the colour of freshly squeezed orange juice on The Simpsons, and right from the get go there’s a waft of mango, nectarine and peach nectar in the air. While it does contain lactose, this isn’t as super sweet as some oat cream IPAs are; the creamy sweetness that comes with the fruit notes isn’t sticky, and the rich and thick mouthfeel doesn’t hit gluggy smoothie status.
The high alcohol content of New Slang makes itself known as it begins to warm the chest from the first few sips; complete with a touch of soft coconut and the tiniest fizzle of bitterness rounding out the big fruit flavours flavours, it’s reminiscent of a tropical cocktail with a little umbrella sticking out the top.
