Surly Rocket Surgery Hazy Ale

Surly Rocket Surgery Hazy Ale.
 "Hazy. Uncomplicated. Juicy."
5.5 % ABV. Surly Brewing Company, Twin Cities, MN.

This one's being billed as a "hazy ale", not an IPA, but not a pale ale, either. So, that means that it is a pale ale. Because no brewery would miss an opportunity to label a beer an IPA, and pale ale has lost it's luster. The fact is, beer drinkers want pale ales, even if they don't know it.

All hazed up. Bright golden golden, ample layer of ivory froth.

In the nose: Citrus hops. Grapefruit and lemon. Encroaching sweetness.

In the mouth: Mild bitterness at first. Juiciness on the palate, plenty of hops delivered on the tongue. Bright and delightful. Medium bodied, easy drinking. This one is tasty, and fuzzy, and in the hallowed tradition of hazy, but lighter and lower alcohol. So, go drink it.

BREWED FOR: PUTTING YOUR MONEY IN THE GIFT HORSE'S MOUTH
