Junkyard Clearly Obscure New England Style Double IPA

 Junkyard Clearly Obscure  New England Style Double IPA.

8.1% ABV, Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.


Clouded, bright orange, lace-leaving layer of ivory froth.

In the nose: citrus notes and yeast. Lovely.

In the mouth: juicy from the start. Light bitterness.Full citrus and tropical hop flavors. A glass of hoppy pineapple/orange juice, with a kick. Delightful & delicious, with the warmth of the higher ABV unfolding on the palate and unspooling on the brain. 

I will stop complaining about NE IPAs. At least, this one is properly labeled. And it’s good for what it is. If I hanker for the filtered stuff, I try to keep some representation in the fridge. Sticker Fight, here I come!

This New England Style DIPA was bittered with Centennial & Mosaic hops and dry hopped with a blend of Galaxy & more Mosaic for juicy flavors of passionfruit, berries and citrus complemented by a golden, hazy body and the cleanest, dankest bitterness!⁣
