Surly Invisible Rays Tropical IPA


 Surly Invisible Rays Tropical IPA.

6.8% ABV, Surly Brewing, Twin Cities, MN, USA. 

Mostly clear, bright golden hue, slim white head.

In the nose: soft, slightly sweet, lushly tropical. Delightful hoppiness.

In the mouth: nice bracing blast of bitterness at the front, turning juicy and slightly sweet. Big citrus with a healthy dose of tropical, passion fruit and papaya with a pineapple spear mixing up with a little orange and lemon. Medium bodied, long hoppy finish, quite a tasty little number. Refreshingly consumable. All in all, not. Too. Shabby, there. 

BREWED FOR THE DOG DAYS

The summer sun hits different where we’re from. The warm rays are the hard-earned reward for our brutal winters, and we cherish them just a little bit more. Surly salutes those Invisible Rays with this tropical IPA full of pineapple and guava notes and just a kiss of lactose. Summer isn’t endless here, but you’ll wish this beer was.

Note: Brewed with lactose.
