Saint Errant CHEAP THRILLS

CHEAP THRILLS, crafted by Illinois-based brewer Saint Errant, is a quintessential New England IPA that stands out with its enticingly hazy appearance and juicy, hop-forward profile. At 6.7% ABV, this beer offers a balanced strength, ideal for those who appreciate the vibrant, fruity character typical of American IPAs. The haziness suggests an unfiltered style, often associated with a softer mouthfeel, while the aromatic bouquet is lush with notes of ripe tropical fruits and citrus, a signature of the hop varieties that dominate this style. Serving CHEAP THRILLS at a temperature of around 45 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit allows its layered flavors to express fully, revealing the nuanced interplay between its fruity hops and smooth malts. For the best tasting experience, pour it into a tulip glass, which helps concentrate the aromas, enhancing the beer's aromatic qualities. Food pairings for this New England IPA are as dynamic as its flavor profile. The beer's juicy hop character complements spicy dishes, such as Thai green curry or spicy tacos, while its slightly sweet malt backbone provides a harmonious counterpoint to the bold flavors of grilled meats and tangy barbecue. For cheese lovers, a creamy blue cheese or a sharp cheddar can provide a delicious contrast to the beer's hoppy brightness. CHEAP THRILLS offers a true taste of the New England IPA style, with its hazy appearance and juicy, hop-forward notes. Whether you're a seasoned IPA enthusiast or new to the style, this offering from Saint Errant is a delightful exploration of vibrant flavors and aromas, all grounded in a satisfying, approachable body.
