BlackStack Throw Pillows DDH TIPA.
10.4% ABV, BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, MN.
Hazy, yellow, milky froth atop.
In the nose: soft and somewhat fruity..awfully muted. Citrusy?
In the mouth: soft, overly sweet, minimal bitterness. Or no, would be better. Bright, hoppy, refreshing, aburst with flavors, but holding only the slightest bite. And here comes the booze.
I found it hard to really like this one, but I can see why others would. When they crank up the alcohol, but tone down the bitterness, is it really a triple IPA?
The joke has been made that we make Triple IPA's like most people accumulate throw pillows. Unnecessary. Over the top. Extravagant. Perhaps you even have a significant other that thinks you buy too many. Why more hand-selected Simcoe, Strata & a kiss of Sabro-Cryo you ask? Because you deserve it & we felt like it.
