Minneapolis Town Hall Brewery Alpha Nimbus White IPA.
Lightly hazy, bright golden coloring, big white head, leaving lace.
Aroma: Beautiful hoppiness, distinctly citrus, floral, and piney. Lovely stuff.
Taste: Bold and dazzling hop attack hits first. Lean bodied, light and smooth. I assume there's some wheat in here, but it's not terribly prominent. If this is a White IPA, it's not like others I've tried. Lighter on the wheat, or the wit, lacking the spice and orange found in a wittier, more hoppy than anything else. Not as hazy, hardly white.
Okay, I'm feeling it now. It's nothing but supple, it's everything smooth. All about the hops, and then some. Love this one. Good drinker, and while it's nothing like various beers that have called themselves "white IPA" whatever the hell that is, it's terrific.
how do they describe it on the website? "Melding of a Belgian White Ale and American IPA for your drinking pleasure." 6.8% ABV. Sure, that helps…not much.
