Bent Paddle Hazy Pôrdij ( #6) India Pale Ale. Featuring Suitana + El Dorado + Cashmere.
When meeting someone coming the other way on a portage, the person carrying the canoe should always be given the right of way. (I'm just reading off the can here, folks.)
6.3 % ABV, 50 IBU. Bent Paddle Brewing, Duluth, MN.
Another exemption from the boycott on the hazy. And why, this time? 1. It was a free sample. 2. I like Bent Paddle and I want to keep up with them. Let's go.
It's hazy, bright golden, slim white head.
In the nose: Pleasantly citric, fruity, some berries, melons.
In the mouth: Exceptionally sweet and fruity. Low bitterness. Lean malt, light bodied, Just enough hops to tickle the tongue, but bitterness is consistently mild. Smooth stuff. Easily consumable. Some tropical notes come through, a bit of pineapple, and even banana, terrifically tasty. Yum meets a dum dum. This is enjoyable, and I enjoyed it.
Every Pôrdij leads to new adventures! Just as a portage takes you to a new body of water, our Pôrdij navigates the ever-changing currents of the IPA style. This version of our Hazy India Pale Ale piles on a massive hop load, but the bitterness is kept at bay despite the added weight. The haze descends on this IPA like an early morning North-Shore fog with Sultana, El Dorado, and Cashmere hops leading the way. The bright hop flavors cut through the haze and lend a tropical citrus forward nose that supports the ample malt frame.
