Pinkies Up is an AVIPA that is clocking in at 18.4% and is dry hopped 5 times during fermentation. One hop per day with Citra, Galaxy, Nelson, Mosaic, & Amarillo and then for good measure we dry hop Pinkies Up one more time with all five hops together! Pinkies Up is a single run beer to give the beer a thick & creamy mouthfeel to withstand the huge ABV (i.e. We mash four times, like normal, but only got half the amount of beer because we didn't sparge). Notes of Pineapple, Tangerine, White Grape, Peach, Berry, & Pine.
P.S. You may be wondering what an AVIPA is? We coined the term AVIPA to be an IPA with an ABV greater than 18% and is dry-hopped a minimum of FIVE times!

Pours a clear gold/bronze with strong carbonation. Smells is heavy malt with a mild citrusy background. Taste is similar, citrus character is stronger, but plenty of piney bitterness. There’s a strong alcohol burn on the back end, but crispy, clean, and easy to drink. I like it-better than rated.

Poured from a 16 oz can. Appearance is dark orange with a small head. Aroma and flavor feature sweet caramel, booze, and bitter citrus. Mouthfeel is boozy and syrupy. Reminiscent of 120 Minute IPA but not really enjoyable. Pass.
