Surly Moving Pictures Juicy IPA

Surly Moving Pictures Juicy IPA.

6.5 % ABV, Surly Brewing, Minneapolis/Brooklyn Center, MN. 

Moving Pictures is what they used to calm films, i.e., the movies. It's also a Portland, Oregon videography company, and an 80's Australian rock band (remember "What About Me?). It's a Terry Pratchett novel, and the title of Ali McGraw's autobiography. Also, some Canadian band had an album with that name. Whatever. 

Crack, goes the ...what do we call that thing? I should know...the ring? anyway, the can is open and into the glass it goes...

Clear, bright golden hue, large, lush ivory head. 

In the nose: Bold citrus and pine. Lemon, orange, and grapefruit. 

In the mouth: Yep, it's juicy. Minor bitterness. Fruity flavors, lean body, easy drinkability. Yup, it's fruity and juicy and an IPA and you can drink it. Not much more to say. 

Flavors paint pictures in our minds. Blink for a moment and they freeze—grapefruit, tangerine, mango, papaya—blink again and the frame resets. Dry-hopped with Amarillo, El Dorado, and Lotus hops, Moving Pictures IPA tells this story in each sip.
