ONE Fermentery & Taproom Hugs & High Fives NE IPA

ONE Fermentery & Taproom Hugs & High Fives NE IPA.
8.7 % ABV. ONE Fermentery & Taproom, Minneapolis, MN.

Man, did I pick the wrong time to review this one. No hugs. High-fives are iffy, also. Definitely no handshakes. Deep, soulful nods are what we do, now. Knowing glances. Stuff like that. From six feet apart.

Hazed-up, deep orange, lace ivory head.

In the nose: Lovely notes of citrus and tropical hops intertwine. Slightly sweet, a touch prickly.

In the mouth: Juicy on the palate. Traces of bitterness, touch of sweet malt, but altogether balanced. Grapefruit, orange, little touch of passionfruit/papaya. Just enough bitterness to keep me satisfied. Just enough tasty to keep me happy. More than enough, actually. Almost yum, a dum, dum.
Medium-bodied, long, hoppy finish. Nice one.

Big, hazy IPA with a generous dose of Simcoe, Strata, and Citra hops.
