Junkyard Triple Double Triple IPA with Strata and Sabro Hops

Junkyard Triple Double Triple IPA with Strata and Sabro Hops.


9.7 % ABV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN. 

Heavily clouded ("I will not repeat past complaints, I will not repeat past complaints"...), bright golden hue, large, looming. lace-leaving ivory head. 

In then nose: citrus, pine, tropical notes. Slightly sweet, fruity. 

In the mouth: Flavor is fruity, slightly tart, and undoubtedly delicious from the first sip. Getting mostly tropical tones, pineapple, papaya, passionfruit, more so than citrus. Juicy stuff, too. Low bitterness. Mild malt. Sweet takes turns with the bitter. Very unique flavors coming through. Berries abound. Almost creamy, this. Tasty stuff. Medium bodied, easy-ish drinking, he writes, as the alcohol rears it's head. And I enjoy it when it does.

Easily one of the more interesting and enjoyable beers I've had in quite awhile. 

Packed with a dynamic duo of Sabro and Strata hops, this brew boasts huge aromas of tangerine and super ripe tropical fruit. Flavors of pineapple, mango, and dank pine lead to a lasting, bitter finish.
