Lupulin Sophistry 04 India Pale Ale

Lupulin Sophistry 04. India Pale Ale. New England-style.
7.5 % ABV. 50 IBU.
Lupulin Brewing, Big Lake, MN.

Hazy, bright golden, large and lasting ivory froth atop.

In the nose: bright, fresh, zesty, lovely stuff. Mostly citrusy with a touch of tropical sweetness.

In the mouth: Mmmm. I'm in a happy place. Fresh and zesty, lightly bitter, plentiful payload of hoppiness dropped on the palate. Delicious. Bitter, dry, delightful. I'm enjoying this tremendously.

A big, chewy malt base heavy in oats gives way to a massive hit of tropical and citrus hops. With more hops than we've ever put in our custom built whirlpool, then finished with a massive dry hop of Citra, Sabro along with a cool new hop blend from New Zealand called Motu.

Because I liked this beer so well, I recommend that you drink this one while listening to the best song about liking beer ever recorded. It should also clear things up for those of you who never understood this blog's tagline. Take it, Tom:
