Junkyard Freshness Packet. Double IPA.
8.5 % ABV. Junkyard Brewing, Moorhead, MN.
Once more, tricked into breaking my boycott of the hazes. Doesn't say New England, or hazy, or Vermont-style anywhere on the label, does it? Only "Cryo blend Double IPA." But, hazy it is, they got me again.
Hazy, of course, dull golden hue, lasting ivory head.
In the nose: soft and fuzzy, plenty of citrus, tropical tones, too. Terribly muted.
In the mouth: Powerful blast of hop flavors on the palate, at first sip. Packed with citrus and pineapple. Slight sweetness, but there's some lingering bitterness that carries throughout. Medium bodied, and continually tasty. Is this only 8.5% ABV? No, way....
My objection to the non-stop hazies falls away. I'm no longer mad that they didn't warn me. Tasty beer is good beer.
This Double IPA is exploding with freshness!! Freshness Packet is a Double IPA brewed with a dynamic mixture of Cyro Blend, Mosaic, and Sultana hops. This IPA is bursting with the freshest flavors of citrusy tropical fruits, which is supported by a stable pine finish and accompanied by a soft bitterness!
