Drumconrath Dankify India Pale Ale. Made in North Dakota with an Irish spirit.
6.5 % ABV, 45 IBU. Drumconrath Brewing, Fargo, ND.
Throughly and utterly hazed-out (doesn't say it on the label, doesn't matter anymore, they're all hazies now). Fuzzy yellow color. Large and beautiful ivory head.
In the nose: Bright and sunny, tropical tones meet citrus. Lemon, grapefruit, pineapple. Inviting and lively.
In the mouth: Bitter at first, with sweetness on the side. Bitter hop attack lays long on the palate, then turns dry before rolling off. Juicy stuff. Medium bodied, quite tasty, and easily consumable. Dank flavors aplenty in this. And just enough of the bitter to keep me satisfied.
I rag on the NEs a lot here, but this one hits the right balance. A delight.
Dankify New England style IPA! Made with Sticky Fingers hops, a blend of 15 varieties of hops from our main supplier, Michigan Hop Alliance. This beer is sweet and dank. Super delicious!
One thing I have to get off my chest, though, is the strange design decision to only use one color on the perfectly rendered illustrations on all of their labels. They use one color for the background and title card, and one in the drawing itself, leaving the rest of the figures in black and white. I'd like full color, please. This choice sets the labels apart, but not in a good way.
