Junkyard Wicked Awesome Slurry New England-style Double IPA.
8.1 % ABV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.
Yep, breaking the ban on the hazies once more, on purpose, paid with my own money, and the reason is I want to keep trying Junkyard beers while avoiding the overly fruity sours and such, as well as the thick stouts that send you to Diabetes Town. Let's just open it up and I promise I will judge it on what it is and what it tries to be, not what I wish it were.
Hazy ('natch), bright golden toned, large and lasting, lace-leaving head. Looking lovely.
In the nose: Blast of citrus and tropical notes into olfactories. Getting grapefruit, passionfruit, tangerine, lemon, and a splash of mango, all with a side order of fuzz.
In the mouth: Smooth and fuzzy. Mild bitterness. Fresh hoppiness. Building in intensity, emboldening with increasing alcohol. Much haze and fuzz in the mouthfeel. Just a touch of sweetness from the malt and the yeast. Medium body. Drinkable. Hoppy. Too sweet and soft and ....you can like this all you want...I won't call it a favorite.
This hoppy brute is brewed with wheat to soften its body and features the dankest Eureka and the juiciest El Dorado for a mysterious haze filled with murky, tropical goodness.
That was what I swiped from Untappd. Here's what's on the label: A mysterious shape appeared in the murky haze. And suddenly she felt the leafy claws of the...Slurry Monster! ....and then the rest....
