Inbound Four Leaf Cleaver Double IPA

Inbound Four Leaf Cleaver Double IPA.

9% ABV. 82 IBU. Inbound BrewCo., Minneapolis, MN. 

Clear, bright amber/golden hue, slim white head. 


In the nose: Moderately hoppy, light citrus hop presence. Pleasant, so far.

In the mouth: Quite a pleasant spank from the hops right out of the gate. Hoppy, juicy, piney, citrusy, with just enough jolt, and just enough smooth and happy. Bright, lively, fruity malt component. Tasty stuff. Alcohol starts to rear it's head. Big fruit burst out, orange, tangerine, apricot, lemon, all burnished a bit by the heat of the oncoming booze. 

I like this one. It won't take over from any of my all-time favorites, but it works, it's good. I'd drink it again...and again...

Consider yourself lucky to be hit by this beer. We cut through the haze to reveal a balanced, satisfying IIPA with a slightly creamy mouthfeel. A double dry hopping brings notes of citrus, juicy fruit, and pine.
