Strata, Sabro, Mosaic. Filled on: 8/13. Purchased: 8/18.
Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.
Clear? A clear Junkyard IPA? What The--?!? Also, bright golden hued, slim white head.
In the nose: citrus and pine, slightly tropical, also dank and sticky icky.
In the mouth: It is juicy. Lightly bitter, ultimately dry. Plain and simple hop juice. Lingering fruity/juicy flavors, lasts longer than bitterness upon the palate. Flavors of apricot, peach, mango, grapefruit, and orange. Light bodied. Super smooth. And deeee-licious. Nice one, guys.Constructed on the the shoulders of legendary hops Strata, Sabro and Mosaic, this IPA is dripping with hypnotizing hop nectar. The nose lends clean aromas of pine and citrus zest, followed by soft & juicy flavors of grapefruit, blueberry, and mango. Finally, this mesmerizing IPA finishes balanced and bitter.
Because "juice" or "juicy" leads many beer geeks these days to tune their minds in only one way, I would like to do a thing that I do from time to time and gather some comments from the reviewers on Untappd. What do they have to say?
Connor B. says: "Not the color I was expecting, but still very tasty." He wanted a high pulp glass of O.J., I think.
Brandon B. says: "Not very juicy and definitely not the king of juice as far as IPAs go." So literal minded, B.B. And guess what, Budweiser is not the King of Beers.
Jeremy Z opines: "A bit flat tasting, and definitely needs a new name, too." Okay, Jeremy, aka, King Know IT All.
According to Clint S: "Light, easy drinking. Not sure about juice king?!? Not that juicy..." Clint knows how juicy juicy should be.
Evan H. delivers his own brand of wisdom: "Holy shit. So light, yet it reaches out of the BIG BOI can to slap me. Delightful"
Well, after that, I'm glad that no one commented that "it slaps!" Just the latest dumb catchphrase that's sweeping the youth of today. Better than "it fucks", but not by that much.
