Surly dots and loops ipa

Surly dots and loops ipa. "Fruity. Hoppy. Bright."
6.7 % ABV.
Surly Brewing Company, Twin Cities, MN.

All hazed up. Bright golden color, slim ivory head.

In the nose: Slight citrus and slightly more tropical tones. Nicely hopped. Plays it fairly cool.

In the mouth: Grapefruit lemon and orange smack the palate. Minor bitterness, mostly smooth and easy-going. Mango and passionfruit floods us with flavors next. Nice and juicy, light malt body.
Refreshing and tasty. There's just enough of what I like in an IPA here, but also not quite enough, alas.

Definitely bright, fruity, hoppy, as they say, just lacking in substance.

They use the phrase "new-school" down below, meaning hazy, juicy, NE-style and such. I still hanker for the old-school, but, you know, trends gotta be chased.


BREWED FOR: SPACE AGE BACHELOR PAD MUSIC 
 {Are they saying I should put on some Esquivel? I never need an excuse to listen to Juan Garcia Esquivel.}

This new-school IPA sends your palate swirling in dots and loops with fruit-forward hop flavors of mango, orange, and pineapple with a bright finish that will leave you wanting more.
