Drekker Freak Parade Double IPA.8.2 % ABV. 70 IBU. Drekker Brewing, Fargo, ND.
More trips/freaky cartoon graphics on the label. Groovy.
Intensely clouded, highly hazed, dull orange color, under lacey ivory head.
In the nose: Soft, floral, citric, tropical, sweetness and fruit. Quite a delight.
In the mouth: More soft, more smooth. Low bitterness, hangs hard on the palate. Juicy flavors dominate throughout. Citrus up tops, and tropical tones at the side. Big hoppy tastes, up and all the way down. Tasty stuff.
I'm still tired of every Double IPA being a hazy New England-style. It's getting really fucking boring. And I rarely swear. It's that frustrating that it compels me to curse.
I don't know how long this trend will last, but the ones who are doing it well seem to be in it for the long haul. I hope they've got something else up their sleeves when this all dries up.
Malt:pale two row, spelt, flaked oats, carafoam, malted oats.
Hops: Vic Secret, El Dorado, & Mosaic.
Yeast: House IPA yeast.
Drekker Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Fargo, ND. Beer is our craft, but Drekker is about much more than the contents of a glass. It's about what happens when a few of those glasses get raised together. Beer is FUN, act accordingly.
