Invictus Hazy Crazy IPAzy NE IPA. "Beer for the Unconquerable Soul."7.3 % ABV. 60 IBU.
Invictus Brewing, Blaine, MN.
All clouded up, dullish orange hue, layer of ivory froth.
In the nose: Nicely hopped, if a bit muted. Nothing really sticks out here. Flavors slowly unspool, widen, grow. Give it time and it gets louder yet, more citrus and topical notes popping up.
In the mouth: Starts with a brief bitter buzz upon the palate, then it's all fruity and juicy. Much yeast haze happening in the flavor. A bit more than I care for, but not enough to be a problem. Citrus and tropical galore.
Smooth, delightful, light and just tasty enough.
I don't like this as much as the other Invictus IPA I've had, but then I don't need them to be hazy. Or crazy.
You know some people think that crazy hazys are lazy.
What would Nat King Cole say about that?
Brewed with loads of oats, wheat, and a few specialty malts. Then double dry hopped with Vic Secret, Jarrylo, and Amarillo. Lighter in color with a soft pillowy head. Aromas of pineapple, mango flesh, slight banana, and citrus round out this IPA. Tiki drink meets IPA.
