Starry-eyed Lindy Hopped IPA

Starry-eyed Lindy Hopped IPA.
6.6 % ABV. 36 IBU.
Starry Eyed Brewing, Little Falls, MN.

Clear, bright golden hue, large ivory-toned head. Looking great.

In the nose: Beautiful bouquet of citrus and pine.

In the mouth: Juicy, bitter, pulsating with pine and citrus notes. Slides down the gullet with alarming ease. Medium bodied. Long, lingering bitter finish. Citrus and stone fruit takes over the flavor for the long haul.

My kind of IPA, right here. Just delicious. I'll take more, thank you very much.

A tame, yet flavorful, American IPA.  “Late boil” and “dry” hopping is used to showcase the flavors and aromas found in a couple highly prized hops, without the aggressive bitterness found in most modern American IPAs.  The essential oils in mosaic hops lend hints of blueberry, tangerine and papaya.  Citra dry hopping contributes notes of passion fruit, lychee, melon and/or grapefruit.  A perfect IPA for those who think that they don’t like “hoppy” beers.
