BlackStack Tug It Out Double Dry Hopped IPA. 7.3% ABV. BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, MN.
Heavily hazed, bright golden coloring, big, lasting white head. Nice looking stuff.
In the nose: tropical fruit notes aplenty on display here, the pineapple, the guava, some orange and other citrus...just a trace of bitterness, leaning heavy on the sweet in this. Quite delightful.
In the mouth: A nice, astringent bitterness clings to the palate, with yeasty goodness at work, as well. Lots of brilliant hop action working hard, too. Fresh and zesty, and more. Sweet, creamy, light bodied, and drinkable. Man, you can drink and drink it.
I'm a trifle disappointed that this brewery pumps out nothing but double dry-hopped double IPA after double dry-hopped double IPA. But when they're this good, why worry about it?
