Urban South SnoBall Juice Hazy Juicy IPA

I have been wanting to try something from Urban South Brewery for a long time now. As a native Texan and a (once upon a time) frequent visitor to NOLA, there was a blood draw to this brewery…And, as a huge IPA, milkshake IPA and spilled sour fan their beer was the other draw for me. Every time I saw one of the pictures for their spilled sour beers on Instagram I would salivate and crave for a taste. Unfortunately, their brews are not available up here in Cincinnati. So on our recent excursion down to Florida I sought out where along our path I might gain access to this legendary brew. As it would happen, I could not find any source that carried one of their spilled sours so I “settled” on this yummy looking Hazy IPA as a consolation prize. This IPA is brewed with Satsuma, which is a kind of mandarin orange, and lactose making this more of a milkshake IPA instead of an actual hazy. The color is a dense but light orange. Aromas are soft orange. The mouthfeel is lightly creamy with the mandarin orange being right there up front. A delicious first sampling of Urban South.
