Merry Taj

The name “Merry Taj IPA” pays homage to the holiday celebrations going on from sea to sea, encapsulating the hope of a new year as we inch closer and closer to what else lies on our path.

It’s also a play on a term from the wine world, Meritage, which loosely translated means: A damn fine blend (of hops in this case).

What begins as an aroma of crisp floral notes gives way to the bright taste of tropical fruit and citrus rind, finishing with a spicy, piney bitterness thanks to the addition of the Simcoe hops.

Though Belgian-inspired beers dominate The Lost Abbey portfolio, it’s not the only focus of the brand. The brewing team at The Lost Abbey are certified Hop-Heads at heart and being able to imagine and craft an IPA for the brand was a vision that seemed just out of reach…until now.
