Lightly hazed, golden-hued, with a strong, ivory-toned head. Looks fine, unless you're one of those fools for whom it can't be hazy enough. Give me tropicana or give me death! Boo.
In the nose: Sweet tropical notes tickle the nostrils first, pineapple, mango, passionfruit. Low bitterness.In the mouth: Creamy, smooth, fruity, hoppy. Low bitterness. Lush and lightly malty. Easy drinking. Delightful. This seems to fit the requirements of those who favor the "NE"-style of IPA. And even smoother and creamier. I'm not a fan of the lactose in the IPA. Nope, not for me. If it's for you, go on ahead.
Realizing that this isn't in my favorite style, I wish I'd brought back a crowler of the "regular" IPA, the Crooked Grin, which I sampled on site and was thoroughly happy with. Next time, next time.
Kinda hazy IPA. More lactose than a cup of milk. Hopped with Citra, Vic Secret, and Galaxy Hops.
