Tuned Galaxy IPA - 612 Brew

Tuned is an effort to pair beers from the Minneapolis/Saint Paul Twin Cities area with bands from the same area.  If you buy the beer, you get a code on the cap that allows for a free song download. There is also then a concert at the brewery. This release gets "Not the Kid" by Communist Daughter. This release is brewed by 612 Brew of Northeast Minneapolis (612 is the Minneapolis area code) and comes in at 6.0% ABV and 70 IBU's.

The beer pours a deep and dark copper and bronze, prehistoric dark amber. There is a near inch of bubbly, yet thick, off-white foam. The aroma is passion fruit, a bit musky, over toasted malt, somewhat spicy, almost rye-like. The taste is reversed, toasted and roasted malt comes first, crisp rye bread, followed by passion fruit hops, with a tangy and moderate to strong bitterness. Medium-bodied with some smoothness, moderately carbonated with a bit of tingle.
