6.7% ABV, 48 IBU. Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, Minneapolis, MN.
Hazy, bright golden hue, large and long-lasting ivory head.
In the nose: big citrus, bright and bold. Orange, grapefruit, lemon. Blissful barrage.
In the mouth: juicy from the get-go. More bold hoppiness, with minor bitterness. It’s “not too hoppy”, as is appropriate for a beer made in collaboration (or just in honor of? ) a local women’s football team. You don’t want it to be too bitter and turn off many of the crowd that wants to enjoy it. Mild and easygoing, while flush with flavor. Not too shabby there.
This is not the freshest example of this that one can find. It is perhaps the oldest version ever. It was bequeathed to me, after having hung around for seven months for reasons too tedious to go into. But I feel that it hasn’t suffered over time. Probably better fresher, but not too bad right now.
This double dry hopped NE IPA brewed in collaboration with Minnesota Vixen Football team features flavors and aromas of melon, tropical fruit, lemon, lime, tangerine, coconut, stone fruit, and mint.
