BlackStack On One Double Dry Hopped Double IPA. 8.5% ABV. BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, MN.
Heavily clouded, one might say "hazy", dull orange/golden color, with a prodigious layer of ivory head atop.
In the nose: creamy, sweet, fruity. hoppy, damn. Grapefruit, lemon and lime. Wow. This is nice. Very nice.
In the mouth: Sweet, bitter, creamy, delicious. Milky, creamy, lush, malty, ...I already said delicious, right? Smooth. Flooded with tropical fruit flavors, pineapple, mango, & more. Beautifully, delightfully hoppy. Medium body, easy drinking. Not quite feeling the buzz yet....almost....there we go.
This was a good one, and it went down in no time. Wish I had some more.
We turned one. We're on one. Let's crack one. On One is a sumptuous celebration. A similar yet singular saturnalia. The setting of malt provides structure, depth and balance. But once again, the hops are the life of the party. We invited some of our friends, Galaxy, Vic Secret, and El Dorado, and boy did they deliver. Hope your invite wasn't lost in the mail. Somebody should've told you.
BlackStack is family-run.
