Finnegans Cluster Truck India Pale Ale. 6.5% aBV, 65 IBU. Finnegans Inc., Minneapolis, MN.
Lightly hazed, bright golden hue, large, lace-leaving ivory head.
In the nose: Aggressive aromatics: citrus, tropical, pine. Bold hop attack. Liking it.
In the mouth: Big hop bite from the start. More dry than juicy on the palate, but a balance of both. Slightly acerbic. A little astringent, then mostly smooth on the way out. Medium bodied, long bitter finish. Ever-lasting hoppiness.
Good IPA, and you can drink it.
An American IPA with a truckload of hops.
Postal Script: After posting this, I realized that I'd reviewed it before, from a growler, after my first visit to the taproom, about three months ago. Oops. Oh, well. Now you can drink it from a can, so we've got that going for us.
