Lupulin Keep The Change Ya Filthy Animal Double IPA

Lupulin Keep The Change Ya Filthy Animal Double IPA.
8 % ABV. 70 IBU.
A Collaboration with Red Cow (the fine burgers joint).
Brewed and Canned by Lupulin Brewing, Big Lake, MN.

Sigh. I miss the non-hazy DIPA. Here we go, again.

Hazed up, bright golden. Slim white head.

In the nose: mostly muted, citrusy hop notes slowly emerging. Tropical notes peeking out.

In the mouth: Ever so hazy. Smooth. Mild bitterness. Piney/citrusy character blends with pineapple & passionfruit & mango. Very easy-going and delightful to drink. Even delicious.
Nice blend of the sweet and the bitter. Alcohol's starting to grow and spread.

Yeah, I gripe about the hazies, but sometimes they're alright.

The reference behind this is one that has only recently made any sense to me. There are some movies I never saw and still have never seen, and "Home Alone" is one of them. I've seen "Star Wars" 200 times, "Dr. Strangelove" 27 times, "Barton Fink" 11...one of these days I'll see "Home Alone"...maybe....

Hazy DIPA brewed with Citra, Simcoe, Sultana, and Falconers Flight Hops. Aromas and flavors of Mango, Grapefruit, and Passion Fruit .
