8.6 % ABV. 16 IBU.
Montgomery Brewing, Montgomery, MN.
Well, this is more like it.So many breweries these days leave the "hazy" off the label, as if you're just expecting every IPA and double IPA to come naturally hazy. You don't know what you're getting! "What, you actually care about whether your IPA is or is not "hazy/juicy" Sorry about that." No, they're probably not sorry.
On with the beer:
In the nose: Aburst with citrus and a touch of pine. Hop-tastic.
In the mouth: Powerful on the palate, forceful radiation of citrus hop flavors, brimming over with grapefruit, lemon and orange. Juicy, sure. And wonderfully bitter. That's the problem with the "juicy/hazy"'s, I don't know if I'll get enough bitter. And that 16 IBU...that can't be right. Bitterness flashes on the palate, then subsides. Fruity, bitter, dry, yum.
Medum bodied, with a long, bitter finish, ending dry. Citrus hop flavor never ends. Quite a tasty beer. Go out and get some.
Something tells me they wanted to call this Sabro-tooth Tiger, but then they found out Surly already had that name. Or, they just got caught up in all that Tiger King mania that was all the rage in the early part of quarantine. Glad to see it's been tamped down some, lately. Hey, maybe, just maybe, Carol Baskin didn't kill her husband, you ever think of that? How did that maniac (Joe Exotic) become popular, I wonder, and then remember that Donald Trump is president.
