Venn Blood Orange IPA

Venn Batch 117 Blood Orange IPA. 6.3 % ABV, 20 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Cloudy, light orange hue, slim ivory head.

In the nose: Orange and other citrus fruit notes. Minor hops, meager malt, but appealing enough.

In the mouth: Bright, fruity, bursting with citrus flavors. Light hop bitterness. Lean malt profile. Quite an easy drinker. Blood orange flavor gets bigger as we go, but I think it could be bigger, still. Let's call this one subtle. Even, delicate. But definitely delicious. Quite nice.

You know what else it is, though? It's a good beer and you can drink it.

A juicy, fruit-forward IPA infused with actual blood oranges.

Malts: Domestic Pale, Malted Oats, Caramel 10

Hops: Citra, Amarillo (United States)

Yeast: American Ale

And: Blood Orange
