Inbound BrewCo Hazy Shades. India Pale Ale.6.9 % ABV. 57 IBU. Inbound BrewCo. Minneapolis, MN.
All clouded up. Bright golden-ish. Lasting white head.
In the nose: Hoppy, floral, citric, fruity, and soft. Very mellow, very muted, and entirely pleasant.
In the mouth: Citrus fruit, orange, lemon, grapefruit, with a touch of tropical, just a bit of passionfruit and guava. Maybe mango. Bitterness is low, mouthfeel is lush, finish is fruity and long. Exceptionally smooth.
It's an excellent example of an IPA for people who hate IPAs. That's why I keep saying: call it something else! If you're taking the bitterness out, why is it still an IPA? Yes, Old Man Still Yells At Cloud. Get Off My Lawn, Kids, etc. I'll keep howling into the wilderness.
Oh, no, wait, we say, "OK, Boomer" now, despite the actual age of the person involved. Someone said that to me the other day. I am not a Boomer. Ah, youth and their snark.
A New England IPA brewed with seven rounds of Amarillo, Citra, and El Dorado hops. The tropical, fruity, citrusy trio make their debut appearance in the first wort, then show up for three rounds in late kettle additions, followed by three rounds of dry hopping. A mouthfeel more pillowy than your bell bottoms and a citrusy hop profile more flavorful than your disco suit.
