637. Saucy Brew Works (Cleveland, OH) - Juicy ASAP

“Our best-selling IPA boasts a deep gold hue with an opaque sheen. Dripping with ripe mango, vibrant orange peel, and a medley of hops, including Citra, and Sabro, this brew delivers a juicy profile that’s simultaneously crisp and subtly bitter, ensuring a flavorful burst in every sip.”

637 beers into this odyssey, and this is just the second time that the word opaque has appeared—and the first time that that word has appeared in the description offered by the brewery. I picked up a six-pack of these during a refueling stop on the way back from New York on Thursday. The flavor is very light, whatever it is—I get stone fruit, and I guess that could be mango; but I can’t exactly seem to put my finger on it (h/t to “Weird Al” Yankovic). Doesn’t taste remotely like it’s 6.5% ABV, which would be good if the flavor were a little more pronounced—but it isn’t.
