Lupulin House IPA w/ HBC 472

Lupulin House IPA w/ HBC 472.

6.2 % ABV. 60 IBU. Canned: 6/17/21. Lupulin Brewing, Big Lake, MN. 

Mostly cloudy, bright golden color, lasting, lace-leaving ivory head. 

In the nose: Sweet and fruity starts it out. Plump stone and citrus, with a dash of the tropical. A beautiful barrage of hop flavors. 

In the mouth: Begins mild, sweet, and fruity, ending hoppy and dry. Bright juicy lemon, orange, and grapefruit, matched with a pinch of pineapple and guava. Moderate bitterness, light to medium body, and exceptionally drinkable. Tasty stuff. 

We dry-hopped 3.5 bbls of fermented, but not yet dry-hopped, Hooey with 11 lbs of experimental hop HBC 472. This hop is said to contribute "exceptionally unique, woody, herbal, and vanilla aromas, with a mix of floral and tropical fruit."

Thanks to the sample man who gave it to my boss, who then gave it to me. I don't know about "woody, herbal, and vanilla" aromas, though....guess I have to keep trying harder.
