Indeed Hop Dab IPA. 7.2 % ABV. 55 IBU. Indeed Brewing Company, Minneapolis, MN.
Heavily hazed, bright golden color, prodigious, lace-leaving, ivory head. Looking great.
In the nose: floral, at first, then fruity, sweet. Citrus and tropical notes, for sure, some stone fruit. A cornucopia. Arrestingly lovely.
In the mouth: Fresh, lush, and exceptionally smooth. Bursts of grapefruit and orange greet each new sip. Blasts of bitterness pounce upon the palate. This appears to have everything I want in an India Pale Ale. Lean on the malt body, light/medium and refreshingly drinkable.
It's the classic combo of Mosaic and Citra bringing the fruity hop bouquet in this, matched with Equanaut, all delivered in a form I can't quite comprehend. There should be a tutorial video out there somewhere demonstrating what went on in the process of brewing this beer. The description I'll leave below hints at it. Whatever they had to do, it's damned delicious.
Yeah, this is nice. I would drink this over and over again. Got to get me another can, or a keg, or something.
Inspired by concentrates in the recreational world, this IPA leans on various forms of hop concentrates. Mosaic, Citra and Equanot hop oils in the kettle for a crisp and clean flavor profile and a blend of hop aromatics on the finished side along with a healthy dose of hop pellets providing a bouquet of aromatics!
"The recreational world"? Just say "pot", you guys!
