Venn Brewing Double NE IPA. Batch 91

Venn Brewing Double NE IPA. 8.2% ABV. 55 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Lightly clouded, bright golden color sparkling ivory head. Looking good!

In the nose: Sweet tropical fruit notes, at first, pineapple, mango, etc. Along comes citrus, orange and lemon. Low bitterness.

In them mouth: Sweetness strikes first, again, but is met quickly by a good amount of hop bitterness, setting up the balance on the palate. Moderate malt. Considerably smooth, light bodied, and doggone tasty. Stays sweet and slightly bitter, then ends it with a dry note. Very nice.

Top-notch interpretation of the style. Has it all happening. And I'm glad that this is just one of 100+ beer styles they've put out over the past nine months, rather than NE IPA after NE IPA after, oh, now, let's do a milkshake IPA, and this fruit, and that fruit, and on and on and on...

Juicy AF, hazy, soft. A scaled-up New England-style IPA featuring Citra & Simcoe hops. Malts: Unmalted Wheat, Domestic Pale, Flaked Oats.
Hops: Citra, Simcoe.
Yeast: American Ale.

No. In fact, I have no idea when you commented before. I see nothing from you. I can't remove you from any service.
