Venn Experimental Hazy Pale Ale with BRU-1 hops

Venn Experimental Hazy Pale Ale with BRU-1 hops.
5.6 % ABV. 35 IBU.
Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

All clouded up, bright yellow, huge head, pure white, leaving lace.

In the nose: Lightly hoppy, citrus notes abound. Lemon aplenty. Nice and cool.

In the mouth: Slightly spicy, minor bitterness, flush with citrusy fruit flavors. Lean bodied, easy drinker. I'm not sure what BRU-1 hops provide,...but I found this: The perfect hop for a wide range of pale ales and hop-forward beer styles, BRU-1™ is known for its bright, floral characteristics, pleasing bitterness, and an unmistakable pineapple punch.

Oddly enough, I didn't get any "pineapple punch" up in my sniffer. Results may vary, as they say.

All is mild for now, and exquisitely refreshing and quaffable. Maybe I'll give it another try, later on down the road.
