Broken Clock Forbidden Hugs NE IPA

Broken Clock Forbidden Hugs NE IPA.
6.6 % ABV. 45 IBU.
Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, Minneapolis, MN.

Hazy as all get-out, bright golden hue, slim, but staying, ivory head.

In the nose: soft, shy, lightly fruity...

In the mouth: Little bit of bitterness at the start, citrus splashes on the palate. Orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit. Light-bodied, lean, and tasty. Bitterness remains, soft, juicy, and supple keeps on keeping on. I like this one a lot, more than I can say for many NE IPAs.

A hazy, juicy IPA with the aroma of a hopped up IPA, but without the harsh bite. Loaded with local hops from Mighty Axe hops, the beer has aromas and flavors of citrus, melon, tropical fruit, and fruit pebbles.
