Lupulin DDH Blissful Ignorance Double Dry-hopped Double India Pale Ale

Lupulin DDH Blissful Ignorance Double Dry-hopped Double India Pale Ale.


9% ABV, 70 IBU. Lupulin Brewing, Big Lake, MN. 

Thoroughly hazified. Murky orange-ish hue. Thin slice of ivory foam atop. 

In the nose: Bright, bold happiness, citrus, pine, and such. Accompanied by the yeasty fuzzy stuff. 

In the mouth: Intense bitterness. Bright and beautiful. Does a whammy on the palate. The fruits are on full display, dazzling citrus, some tropical, brief piney-ness. Medium bodied, long, hoppy finish, with the shadow of increasing alcohol coming on. Silky smooth, tasty as heck, hoppy as hell. Utterly enjoyable, and just about delicious. 

As if the madness of our Blissful Ignorance Double IPA was not enough, we roundhouse-kicked it in the face, again, cranking the hop loudness to 11, again!

It's the same 9% ABV Bliss you know and love with a new twist for 2021! This time we hit it with Kohato and Galaxy, for extra pineapple, passionfruit, and citrus flavors. Here at Lupulin, we can't decide if we are geniuses, or idiots. What if we are both? Or neither? Take a sip and decide for yourself.
