Brut IPA. A new style coming from the West Coast. This IPA should appeal to your champagne tastes. Dryer and with more wine quality than a traditional IPA, hopped with Nelson Sauvin hops.

Brut IPA. 7.2% ABV. 65 IBU. Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Another new IPA style? Again? Already? What? Several local breweries have made their version, and this is Sisyphus'. I was confused after I brought it home, because I misread the label and though I had the Brett IPA. Opened it up, started drinking, and with half the crowler in the my glass realized that this tastes nothing like Brett IPA. There's enough left to do a review, so here we go:
Clouded, bright golden hue, sizable, stable head of ivory foam.
In the nose: Citrus and tropical tones. Muted, less emboldened. Mellow. Very cool.
In the mouth: Bold, fresh, fruity flavors, but subdued, not harsh or bold in the least. Some bitterness, but kept on a leash. Ending on a very dry, even brittle side of things. Balances between fruit sweetness and very dry finish. An interesting experiment. Not sure how much I care for it. Definitely better than the previous crop of IPA extensions (milkshake, NE-style, etc.).
I don't mind this. But, I still like more bitterness in my IPA. Because that's what they're for. But if you like an IPA that's more like champagne, be my guest.

Tap pour at Sisyphus.
Slightly cloudy, gold colored body. Slight white head, which stays around. No lacing.
More citrus and tropical hops than in other Brut IPA's.
Taste is led by citrus hops, which are there but never get real expressive. The finish quickly gets quite dry.
This beer has the most citrus hops forward flavor that I have tried (for a Brut IPA), but it is not like a standard IPA. The taste always has the champagne experience, and is subdued and quickly gets to the dry finish.
Medium mouth feel. Okay carbonation. Dry finish, always.
A slightly higher ABV% for the Brut IPA, and expresses more citrus, but still ends up with the dry finish. Has the same musty taste that is reminiscent of yeast in the beer.
