Venn Azacca IPA

Venn Azacca IPA. Limited Release. New England IPA featuring Azacca hops. 

6.8 % ABV, 40 IBU, Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 


Once more, I break my boycott against the hazes, and why? Because I didn't read the fine print. 

All hazy-like, bright golden, large, lace-leaving ivory head. 

In the nose: Soft and citric. Tropical, too. Orange, grapefruit, passionfruit, pineapple. 

In the mouth: Citrus and tropical fruit notes jam the palate. Lemon, and orange, papaya and mango. Juicy stuff. Minor bitterness. Clean, sweet malt. Medium bodied, Long, fruity, malty finish. Plenty of the fuzz and the chalk that I can do without, but it's soft and smooth like they like them these days. It's got the goods.
