Cigar City Pineapple Tangerine Jai Alai India Pale Ale.
7% ABV, 65 IBU. Cigar City Brewing, Tampa, Florida.
From the Jai Alai Variety 12-pack.
Clear, amber-gold hue, small white head, leaving a little lace.
In the nose: tangerine pops out first, pineapple coming in after. Citrusy aromatics with a dash of the tropical.
In the mouth: bright and fruity on the palate, tangerine shining through, with just enough bitterness to keep my tongue happy. Medium bodied, easy drinking. The IPA beneath the fruit holds it’s own. Juicy, bitter, delicious. I’m digging it.
The bright citrus qualities of our iconic India Pale Ale are accentuated in this innovated iteration through the addition of pineapple and tangerine, creating an intensity of flavor yet maintaining highlighters balanced profile.
