Insight Luring the Lord of the Loch Hazy India Pale Ale

Judge me not harshly, gentle reader.
sometimes you think you've got
them cleaned, and it turns out
you're wrong, try as you may.
Insight Luring the Lord of the Loch Hazy India Pale Ale.
6.3 % ABV. 73 IBU.
Insight Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

All hazed up, bright golden/orange-ish coloring, lasting white head.

In the nose: Soft, slightly sweet, tropical notes issuing forth, the usual roll call of mango, passionfruit,  papaya, nice and round and plump.

In the mouth: Nothing but smooth. A little bump of bitterness at the start, getting good and mellow thereafter. Nice and juicy. Lean and easy. More tropical fruit notes, as noted above, than citrus and pine. Terrifically tasty. So, I like it.

Our latest and greatest hazy NE style Ipa. This beer is double dry hopped with Citra, Amarillo, and El Dorado Hops. Big notes of pineapple, mango, and papaya.

And from the can: "...This was no normal Nessie. This was a strange, humpbacked, horse-headed mega-uggo. But it also sat atop a stockpile of fresh, new hazy IPA I had to have. So, countering slyly over, I wrapped my arm around the shoulder (????) of the sea serpent (???) and said, "What's a handsome devil like you doing in this cold, forgotten, waterlogged grotto?...."
