Inbound Fruit of the Loop Citrus IPA

Inbound Fruit of the Loop Citrus IPA. Brewed and canned in the North Loop, Inbound BrewCo, Minneapolis, MN.

There's several layers of punning. Fruit of the Loop refers both to the neighborhood that the brewery is located in, as well as the underwear company, and then the breakfast cereal, Fruit Loops. 

"Get the juicy tastebud extravaganza with the North Loops' fruitiest American IPA. Best enjoyed with Saturday Morning cartoons."

Oh, yeah? They don't show those anymore. So, I'll go on Youtube and look for some Captain Caveman. Dynomutt. Bugs Bunny Road Runner. You know.

Clear, amber/bronze coloring, slim, but staying ivory head.

In the nose: bright citrus, big fruit. Lightly flowery, intense hop bitterness, sweet malt. Nicely balanced. Delightful.

In the mouth: More bitterness boards the palate at first pounce, but then comes the sweet and juicy, the fruity and malty. Tasty stuff. Tangerine, grapefruit, lemon and lemon. Orange zest for a bit. We're keeping it all in the citric, with big juicy bites of fruit. Medium bodied, easy drinker. Long bitterness, generous fruit.

I can dig this one. Good citrus IPA and you can drink it.
