Surly Mean Streets IPA. Sultana India Pale Ale. Fruity. Dank. Mean.
6.8 % ABV, Surly Brewing, Minneapolis/Brooklyn Center, MN.
Halfway hazy. Golden toned. Large and lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Citrus blast with a dose of pine.
In the mouth: A bit of juicy at the start, with a side order of bitter. Tasty from the get-go. Grapefruit, orange and lemon go down the gullet. Fresh and zesty. Touch of tropical to meet the pine and citrus. Medium bodied, long, lightly bitter finish. Good old IPA and you can drink it.
This one is available only in the current Hoppy Pack, as three of the 12 cans included. If it were a regular 6-pack offering, or even a seasonal, heck, I wouldn't mind at all.
Whether you’re out on the mean streets or living in the lap of luxury, this complex and intriguing IPA speaks to you. Featuring the Sultana hop varietal—a relatively new hop centering notes of pineapple, lemony citrus, and pine—Mean Streets is a gritty, groundbreaking twist on the “new school” IPA. You don’t make up for your sins at church. You do it with a Mean Streets.
