Half Acre Sunrise Vallejo India Pale Ale.
6.7 % ABV, Half Acre Brewing, Chicago, IL.
Slightly hazy, bright golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: sweet tropical notes, passion fruit, tangerine, touch of citrus.
In the mouth: soft with minor bitterness. Much less snap to it than I like. Far too sweet for my taste. I got served a hazy without warning. I don’t recall the original Vallejo being quite so New England-esque.
It’s okay, I can drink it, but I’ll be more careful next time.
For 2025, we’re introducing the Vallejo Family of IPAs with three distinct beers that explore Southern Hemisphere hop variations of this classic West Coast recipe. It’s Vallejo all year long. First up, Sunrise Vallejo arrives featuring New Zealand hops that elevate this clear, crisp IPA with aromas of sweet melon, berry and dried pine, warming your senses against winter’s cold, dark grip.
HOPS: Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Krush (HBC 586)
MALT: Pilsner, 2-row
APPEARANCE: Bright gold
