Cash Bot Hazy IPA from Tin Whiskers Brewing

If you haven’t been to Tin Whiskers in downtown St. Paul for a while, I suggest you go back. The brewery, which had a pretty limited stable of beers on tap for a few years, has really branched out. On a recent visit, I counted at least 15 beers on tap, with enough styles to please any palate. This IPA is the fifth in a series of “hyper-fresh, hyper-limited hop bombs” the brewery is producing, and it’s a real treat. Rye in the grain bill complements the spicy characteristics of the Cashmere hops, but the fruity aromas and flavors also come through bright and clear. It’s a really smooth, really drinkable IPA that I could see appealing to even those who don’t love the style. The next in the series is called Cryo Bot, and it’s a collaboration with Big Lake brewery Lupulin. You can bet I’ll find my way there after it’s released on Dec. 13 to give it a try.
