Ale Asylum Hush Money India Pale Ale

Ale Asylum Hush Money India Pale Ale. 7.8% ABV. Ale Asylum Brewing, Madison, WI. "All natural, unfiltered ales and lager made with passion and best enjoyed that way."

Lightly hazed, bright orange coloring, lovely ivory head, leaving lace, looking good.

In the nose: soft, sweet, citric. Touch of tropical: passion fruit and guava.

In the mouth: Sweet and fruity, low bitterness. I had no knowledge of this one before opening the can, but is this their version of an NE/hazy IPA? Could be. Bright and juicy, yeasty, tasty. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish. Lacks the bitterness I desire, but once more, it seems they're shooting for that low bitter, high juicy, hazy business everyone's going for. Not me, but who am I to fight the maddening crowd?

This IPA is bright and fruity with a juicy flavor of white grapes being shot from a cannon. Hu$h Money will be available February through April 2018, both packaged and on tap throughout Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota.
