Venn Community Hops Fresh Hop IPA

 Venn Community Hops Fresh Hop IPA. 

Chinook, Mt. Hood, Williamette, & Centennial hops grown at 38th & Hiawatha. 

6.5 %, 60 IBU. Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 

Clear, golden hue, bright white head, looking fantastic. 

In the nose: Citrus and pine dominate, lemon and lime, grapefruit and orange. 

In the mouth: Juicy, citrusy, grassy, then dry. Assertively hopped. Bursting with hoppy goodness. Falls squarely in the category of Yum a Dum Dum. Lean, clean, light on the malt side. 

It's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for in a fresh hop IPA.

I wonder what other people think. Mine was only the 37th check-in on Untappd. What did the others say?

Leslie C. says: "Very clean and refreshing. Not too hoppy." Jacob J. has a different take: "I was hoping for more hops."

Mo F. is disappointed: "I was hoping for the ipa flavor blast. This is bitter and malty. If I had no expectations, this would be a fine brew." Isn't that always the problem? Having expectations?

Drake T, I agree with you. " A bitter dry IPA. Such a nice change of pace in the world of overly juicy IPAs." Hear, hear. ( Or is it "here, here"?)

I'm sticking with yum. A dum. Dum.
