Inbound Prickly Pear NE IPA

Inbound Prickly Pear NE IPA.

6.6 % ABV. 56 IBU.

Inbound BrewCo, Minneapolis, Mn.



Hazy, amber hued, slim off-white head.

In the nose: Soft, fruity, slightly tart, light hoppiness.

In the mouth: Big fruit from the start, goes juicy to dry on a dime. Slight tart, small pucker, salty and dry. Interesting, indeed. Medium-bodied, juicy, tasty, quite a delight. Not enough bitterness for me to enjoy it as an IPA, though. But, wait, Al, NEIPAs aren't supposed to be, you say to me. Then stop calling them IPAs, dammit!

I like this, though. Good prickly pear whatever it is, and you can drink it.

A juicy and hazy New England-style IPA brewed with Cashmere, Citra, and Mosaic hops, then fermented with sweet, melon-like prickly pears.
