Junkyard Riding With Jules New England Style Double IPA with Mosaic hops

Junkyard Riding With Jules New England Style Double IPA with Mosaic hops.

8.5 % ABV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN. 


I sense a pattern here. Yet another Junkyard NE IPA with a Pulp Fiction reference illustrated in a pixelated, old-school video game style. That's cool. Let's drink it. (Although I can't stop thinking about that video game. It's soundtrack is running through my head.)

All hazed-up, golden hued, large and lasting pure ivory head. 

In the nose: Sweetness, tropical fruits, hoppy. Pineapple, orange, grapefruit, melon. 

In the mouth: Yum, a dum dum, right off the bat. Big, fat, juicy mosaic hop presence on the palate. Moderate to low bitterness. Delicious. Lightish bodied, long, hoppy finish. Flush with tropical and citrus notes. Stone fruits, peach and such. And that hint of the berries. A pinch or melon. A fruiticopia. And juicy. Nice and juicy. 

Oddly, the higher alcohol passes by virtually unnoticed...so far...

Once more, I just wish for a bit more bitter in this IPA. But, I know that's not what they're going for, and it is quite tasty. 

Check out the big brain on Brett! This New England style DIPA is brewed with a blend of Mosaic, Mosaic, and more Mosaic hops for vibrant berry flavors and an earthy complexity. (Say Mosaic one more time, I double dare you) Strong impressions of blueberry, peach, citrus oil, and pine are found with notable mango character, but also shades of lime and mandarin orange. Oh, I'm sorry...Did I break your concentration?
