Surly Liquid Stardust Sparkling Ale India Pale Ale

Surly Liquid Stardust Sparkling  India Pale Ale. 7 % ABV. Surly Brewing Company, Twin Cities, MN.

Light haze, brilliant golden hue, small ivory head atop.

In the nose: Bright, vibrant happiness, notes of citrus fruit, tangerine, lemon.

In the mouth: Sparkling! Fresh, zesty, lively. Bursting with hops, then quickly turning dry. Flush with tropical fruit flavors, pineapple, guava, et al. Light bodied, easy drinking. I like this quite a bit.

This is a delightfully refreshing Brut IPA, and I can easily envision granting it space in the fridge. Taking a couple down for a few sessions.



Unfortunately, this one is only available in the new Frost Pack, along with the new Mortal Sun Porter, as well as 2 cans each of Furious and X-tra Citra.
Free the Liquid Stardust, Surly, give it it's own package.


Festive and crisp, Liquid Stardust sparkles like few, if any, IPAs. Far-out waves of hop flavor and aromatics pack a celebratory punch, while the clean, champagne-like finish begs for another sip.
