Wild Mind Element of Progress. New England IPA. 5.8% ABV, 30 IBU. Wild Mind Artisan Ales, Minneapolis, MN.
Lightly hazed, bright orange, slim ivory head.
In the nose: Tropical notes pop out of the glass, citrus strides behind. Plentifully flavorful, ultimately mellow. Smooth and pleasant.
In the mouth: Bitterness plods on board the palate with confidence, if not aplomb. Nice, medium level of hop attack. Fruity notes, citrus and tropical take command and ride on through the finish. Medium bodied, easy in the drinking.
I love the way this one comes together. Beautiful. Slightly sweet, mild bitterness hangs out on the palate, hop delivery does it all. Another in a great line of IPAs from Wild Mind. I will drink this anytime I see it.
Brewed with 2-row, malted white wheat, and flaked wheat, this hazy Northeast-style IPA is heavily hopped with Azacca, Amarillo, Motueka, and Citra for a slightly bitter and enticingly sweet finish. The Element of Progress has a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and is bursting with notes of fresh tropical fruit and citrus zest alongside a hint of fresh herbs.
