The IPA (which stands for India pale ale) is described as having "a unique citrus aroma with a hint of honey-roasted peanuts followed by a slightly salty finish."
The new beer was created in partnership with Noon Whistle Brewing, whose owner, Michael Condon, had this to say about the concept, "It would have been easy to make a great Stout or Porter with nuts, but Planters wanted to prove that nuts go great with any style beer. Therefore, we took their Honey Roasted Peanuts and made a great IPA that highlights both hops and peanuts."
In addition to select stores in Illinois, you will also be able to find Mr. IPA-Nut at Noon Whistle Brewery in Lombard, IL. A 4-pack of 16-oz cans will run you $9.99.
