Collaboration with Wren House Brewing Company
This collab Honey DIPA was brewed with our homies Wren House Brewing Company from Phoenix. We used Belma, Azacca and Cashmere. St. Croix Valley Honey from Wolf Honey Farms gives it a crisp, dry finish.

Lightly hazed, bright golden hued, prodigious ivory fluff on top.
In the nose:sweet, fruit, citrus. And tropical .and altogether delightful. Honey really should es here.
In the mouth: more delights, sweet and fruity are matching with bitterness and encroaching alcohol. Pineapple pops up to match grapefruit and lemon. Just a little rough around the edge, but mostly smooth and largely delicious.
Now and then, I find myself decrying that this brewery puts out only slight variations on IPAs, double dry-hopped IPAs, double IPAs double dry-hopped, etc. Is there that much difference between them, I now and then wonder. This one, though.....

The bi-weekly (it seems) IPA release from Blackstack, my last 16 oz. can. Honey. I’m imagining Hopslam. Let’s hope that’s the direction this heads.
The pour is prospector gold, & not clear, but certainly not days of haze. Nose is faintly sweet, but not much going on there.
Birds in the Trap is full of hops I’m not very or at all familiar with…& perhaps they should keep their distance. The beer has an almost green hop sting to it that I like as much as new episodes of Say Yes to the Dress. Beneath the hops is vague fruitiness; any sweetness is buried beneath the harsh hops.
Not into this at all. The hops bring ground-up aspirin, & I don’t trust anyone who likes that. The first sub-par beer I’ve had from Blackstack, this one is a dead mourning dove for me.

From a 16oz can:
Appearance: Yellow-gold, slight haze, huge head.
Smell: Smells like canned fruit cocktail--pears, apples, syrup.
Taste: Moderately sweet, muddled fruit taste. Citrus bitterness in the finish. Light feel for a DIPA. Dry finish.
Overall: I was excited to see a collab between Wren House and Blackstack, Wren House is one of my favorites in AZ. The beer is good, but just a little off. Kind of mixed up tasting and smells like cafeteria-style fruit cocktail. But it is interesting and different, that's what I've been looking for lately.

Pours a mostly clear and certainly not hazy golden color with a thin head. smell was light citrus and white wine yeast. Taste was fruity with white grape and citrus very light melon ,not much honey taste for me. A dry mouth feel with medium carbonation. Twas not a fan of this one.
