56 Brewing Tart IPA.5.6 % ABV. 30 IBU.
56 Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Clouded, bright golden hue, lush, long-lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Tart at the start, wild & funky. Sourness subsumes any IPA character there may be.
In the mouth: Huge sour at first sip, with a jolt of juicy. Bracing pucker on the palate. Substantial sour, with not much hop bitterness detected. Sweet juiciness (from malt, I presume) balances out the sour. Quite a tasty sour ale, and you can drink it.
I hate to harp on the same point over and over again, though, but...for all the good, I just gotta. There's not much of an IPA underneath all the sour. Wish they'd stop calling everything an IPA, when it's clearly gone beyond the style.
A juicy and tart kettle soured IPA then dry-hopped with Citra and Loral. The 2nd version of this will be a special collaboration (to be revealed) and released April 20th in the taproom and a limited quantity of 16oz cans.
