Modist Floor Model DDH Oat Milk Double IPA

Modist Floor Model DDH Oat Milk Double IPA.
8.3 % ABV.
Collaboration with Blackstack Brewing.
Brewed by Modist Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.


Hazed. (naturally), dull golden color, lasting white head, leaving lace.

In the nose: Arousing blend of citrus and tropical fruit hops up in the aroma. Orange and pineapple and mango galore, all kept in check with unfiltered yeast. All murkied up.

In the mouth: Nice snap of hop bitterness smacks up the palate, then fades back. Mild and cool. Smooth. Creamy. Lush. Sweet. Scrumptious.
Bitterness goes away and it's nothing but easy peasy. If you like that. Ho hum.

It's tasty. Has a nice buzz. Giving off the old DIPA vibes, alcohol-wise.

This one is starting to grow on me, now.  Big time. It's a funny thing with these new-fangled DDH DIPA hazies. They hit me in waves. Waves of boredom, waves of disappointment, then out of nowhere, I get it. They hit me with waves of hoppiness and bitterness, underneath all that murk and haze. Then the booze comes around. Redeeming qualities pop up out of nowhere, after being obscured by the tell-tale signs of this style I generally despise.

This Oat Milk Double IPA made in collaboration w/ Blackstack comes fully loaded w/ our house-made oat milk, plus Citra, Strata, Nelson Sauvin & Sabro hops then DDH w/ cryo Citra & cryo Sabro
