Venn Limited Release Pineapple Northodox NE IPA.
Northodox IPA infused with pineapple. 6.5 % ABV. 40 IBU.
Venn Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
I'm not typically open to fruited IPAs. There was that phase when I dabbled with mango infusions, but that has come and gone. Do I like pineapple in my IPA? It's a question I had to answer.
All hazy-like, bright yellow coloration, large, lace-leaving, lasting head.
In the nose: Sweetness and fuzz. Pineapple is king, citrus lies below. Nicely hopped.
In the mouth: Fruit is on top, hop bitterness lays low. Juicy stuff, for sure. Pineapple flavor grows and grows. Bitterness keeps time with the acidity and pulp. Tasty enough stuff. Medium bodied, long, fruity finish, easily enjoyable. Exceptionally smooth. Just sweet enough and never too. Yeah, I can dig this one. But I wouldn’t make it a regular thing.
