Inbound Brewco Chinook IPA

Inbound Brewco Chinook IPA. 7% ABV, 70 IBU. Inbound BrewCo., Minneapolis, MN.

Clear, golden/amber color, beautiful ivory head, leaving lace and staying strong. Looking good.

In the nose: Grapefruit, orange, and lemon. Big citrus, with a touch of tropical. Juicy, resinous, a little floral. Delightful.

In the mouth: Nice bite of bitterness from the start, chomping on the palate, then smoothing out. Brash, bold citrus attack offers more delights. Light bodied, lean and clean malt, little bit of cracker/biscuit. Some caramel coming in. Beautiful balance. I like the push and pull between the malt and hops. Good and tasty. This one is A-alright.

(That's my new catchphrase, I'm testing it out. I refuse to jump on the bandwagon of such idiocies as "fire" and "whatever AF".Bleh. Boring. Yech. )

Brewed with 100% Chinook hops. Bouquet of pine and spice characteristics.
