BlackStack Birds in a Trap Honey Double IPA

BlackStack Birds in the Trap Honey Double IPA. 8.5 % ABV. Collaboration with Wren House Brewery,

Lightly hazed, bright golden hued, prodigious ivory fluff on top.

In the nose:sweet, fruit, citrus. And tropical .and altogether delightful. Honey really should es here.

In the mouth: more delights, sweet and fruity are matching with bitterness and ncroachi g alcohol. Pineapple pops up to match grapefruit and lemon. Just a little rough around the edge, but mostly smooth and largely delicious.

Now and then, I find myself decrying that this brewery puts out only slight variations on IPAs, double dry-hopped IPAs, double IPAs double dry-hopped, etc. Is there that much difference between them, I now and then wonder. This one, though.....

Wren house brewing company out of phoenix, az is one of our biggest brewery crushes. Somehow they found the time to flutter by the stack and help us brew this buzzworthy beer. We used St. Croix valley honey from wolf honey farms leaving it dry and crushable.
