Starry-Eyed Stray Double IPA.
8 % ABV. 100 IBU.
Starry Eyed Brewing, Little Falls, Mn.
Clouded, dark crimson coloring, slim white head.
In the nose: Fruity, hoppy, malty in all one. Incoming alcohol. Heady blend.
In the mouth: Starts out with aggressive hops, intense bitterness, and rising alcohol. Juicy / fruity malt flavors bubble up from below. A little caramel, a slice of toast, all mixed up with apples, berries, and citrus. Hophead's delight.
A big beer to showcase the wonderful Simcoe hop. Smoother than the IBUs would suggest, our copious use of the Simcoe hop brings forth the decadent character of peaches and pine. With enough caramel sweetness to keep everything in balance, and enough alcohol to warm the coldest of bodies and souls, we suggest taking your time with this one. Enjoy in moderation, as they say.
