Junkyard Simcoe Single Hopped Double IPA.
8.5 % ABV, 100 IBU, Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.
It's clear (if just a little, lightly hazed), bright golden color, slim white head.
In the nose: Bold and brilliant. Screaming Simcoe. Citrus, pine, stone fruit, and, yeah, a good dose of the litter box. Simcoe in your beer? You're gonna get some cat pee.
In the mouth: Juicy, light bitterness, fresh hop flavor. Clean, lightly malty, delicious. Alcohol provides no hindrance just yet. Drinks down like a dream. The citrus and stone fruit is popping in the flavor. Tropical? That's here, too. Just a little bit of mango in my life, to match the grapefruit and orange. Here comes the ABV, tasting like candied fruits, gummi bears, grapefruit zest, ...tasty stuff, indeed. I'm digging it.
This double IPA is hopped with all "Simcoe" hops. This hop variety boasts a medley of tropical fruits, reminiscent of tangerine, mango, and papaya. Pale base malts and a low final gravity give this beer a dry finish.
