Junkyard Royale With Cheese Double NE IPA. with Citra and Mosaic.
7.7 % ABV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.
Another NE DIPA from Junkyard, another Pulp Fiction reference with early video game graphics. Damn, I want to play that game! This time Citra and Mosaic are teamed up, the best hop combo in beer ever, pretty much. And I finally have a Junkyard glass. The other side has the graphic from Riding With Jules, the last one in this series that I had. But, I chose not to showcase that side of the glass, because that would be confusing, wouldn't it?
Ultra hazy. Bright golden / orangish hue, large and lasting ivory head above.
In the nose: Citrus notes, orange, lemon, pineapple, guava. A touch of the tropical, too.
In the mouth: Smooth, hoppy, slightly sweet, lightly bitter. yum. A dum dum. Huge citrus, lots of tropical, tons of sweetness to match a big batch of bitter. Quite tasty. Medium bodied, easily consumable. Very juicy. Especially likable.
The bitterness is still too mild for me, but the is what the style is all about, so I can't really complain. This is by itself absolutely delightful. I'd gladly turn to it, again and again. I can't recommend this highly enough.
Shaq and Kobe.
Thelma and Louise.
Frodo and Sam.
Vince and Jules.
Citra and Mosaic.
The biggest hop duo of all-time make their Junkyard debut in a knockout display of hazy perfection. Elegant flavors of creamy citrus and white peach are amplified by a kaleidoscope of berry notes interwoven with an earthy, dank, yet clean backbone. Its the perfect one-two punch. An ultra-hip hitman with an affinity for philosophical discussions. Just don’t get too comfortable around ‘em. Now then, mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down with?
