It's a hazy one, murky, golden hued, slim to no head on it.
In the nose: Citrus and pineapple. Sweet, fruity, quite likable.
In the mouth: Starts out bitter, and slightly tart, then along comes the fruit. Citrus and tropical fruit notes pound the palate, slide off lightly, turning dry. Nice. More tropical notes pop off, more sweet, less bitter, and ever-so smooth. Hard not to like it.
The only complaint I have is that I've never seen this style as an end-all/be-all, and can't really get behind it's popularity. Oh, that's right, people want to like IPAs, but don't really like IPAs.
(Complaint Against NE IPAs #567. I know I'm repeating myself.)
But, go out and drink it, by all means, and I'll see you there soon, drinking a double IPA that as bitter as can be!
Tropical fruit, citrus zest, soft. A brainchild of Venn + 12welves Eyes Brewing in St Paul. A malt bill of over 80% wheat & oats meets a hefty dose of Denali & Chinook hops.
Malts: Unmalted Wheat, White Wheat, Flaked Oats, Domestic Pale
Hops: Denali, Chinook (United States)
Yeast: British Ale
