Junkyard Brewstand Boogie New England Style Double IPA

Junkyard. Brewstand Boogie New England Style Double IPA.

8 % ABV, 20 IBU. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN. 

Clouded-up, hazed-out, bright golden hue, large and lasting white head. 

In the nose: Hoppy, citrusy, fuzzy. All that haze. Big orange, with a pinch of pine, and a drop of pineapple.

In the mouth: Juicy, pulpy, overflowing with citrusy flavors. Orange, lemon, grapefruit, bursting upon the palate. Alcohol starts to grow. Low bitterness, but it's there and it lingers. Medium bodied. Easily drinkable. The fuzz meets the bitter. And the alcohol continues to grow. An all-over feeling of goodness pervades. I don't alway dig the hazies, but the Junkyards always work for me. 

This New England DIPA was dry hopped with Eureka, Mosaic, El Dorado, and Azacca. Together these hops provide a big, hazy beer with a soft mouthfeel and plenty of sweet tropical fruitiness! Flavors of candied mango, hints of pineapple and dried orange, with a touch of herbal notes blend harmoniously with this beer’s dank, resinous hop character. This beer is extra special, because it was our brewer Tommy’s first beer recipe! So come grab a beer and LET’S BOOGIE!
