7% ABV. Brewed and packaged by BlackStack Brewing, St. Paul, MN.
Clear, bright golden color, slim white head.
In the nose: bright & shiny & citrusy. Lemon and orange with a twist of tangerine.
In the mouth: just a little juicy, with a decent brace of bitterness. Melange of citrusy flavors with a bit o’ berries, ending dry on the palate. Lot of hop bitterness and none of the haze. What kind of BlackStack beer is this?
Does the Italian Pilsner malt make for a better West Coast IPA? Maybe for you, me, I don’t think so. But I like it better than their hazies.
Usually, the back labels of BlackStack’s beers contain all manner of too-clever descriptive verbiage about their buds and their hand-selected this and cryo that. This one does not.
