BlackStack Summer's Over Australian Summer IPA. 7.3 % ABV. BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, MN.
Somehow, this one got past me. Of course, Summer's been Over for months now, and we are in the grim, cold times. Found it on special at the local shop. And it's definitely well past time I got around to the notes, this being can #4, the first three consumed with pleasure, but no note-taking.
Hazy (of course!), dull orange color, large and lasting ivory head.
In the nose: floral and fruity, bright citrus. Touch of honey, lingering dryness. Quite nice.
In the mouth: Citrus fruit blast. Brisk bitterness. Fresh 'n' zesty. Tropical fruit notes hit up against citrus and hop bitterness blazes. Tasty tango Increasingly delicious.
One more in a long string of satisfying India Pale Ales from BlackStack.
Days in the sun and nights in the rain. Summer is over. Simple and plain. We made a beer that's good for the pain. This one is made with all summer hops from Australia. As far as we know, the last lot we'll ever be able to get of it. We're not sad it's gone, that's just smoke in our eyes. Let's raise a tall glass to short days.
