Pryes Cartographer Series: Above The Canopy Hazy Double IPA.
8.3 % ABV. 32 IBU.
Pryes Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Thoroughly hazed, bold golden/orange appearance, firm and lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Spills out sweet and tropical, pineapple and papaya, with orange and grapefruit rushing in at the sides. Nifty.
In the mouth: Juicy, hoppy, and just bitter enough. Sweetness matches the bitter just barely, and booze comes bubbling up. Bitterness catches up and keeps pace. Merest malt provides a simple stage for hops to shine. One very nice double IPA that doesn't let the haze hog the spotlight. Citrusy hop flavors and bitterness lay long on the palate. Loving it.
A double dry-hopped hazy IPA with smooth tropical fruit flavors ending with a touch of sweetness.
OR: Set course for a tour de force of double dry hopped nirvana. Packed with Mosaic, Samba, and Amarillo hops, you may want to savor this is total solitude.
