BlackStack Brewing

Can. White head with lace. Hazy sunset golden orange.

Juicy and tropical triple ipa. Doesn’t taste like a triple. Crazy orange juice. Mango and pineapple. Very drinkable and flavorful without being boozy. BS and BP nailed this one. Very well done!

 

 

Now this is one of those TRIPPY HAZIES that I just die for. BLACKSTACK and THE BREWING PROJEKT collaborating is like something out of a wet dream. Blackstack's TANG and BRAVADO meets TBP's THICCNESS and WILDNESS. It's the way TBP always manages such an absurdly pure, almost food-like wholeness to their hazy IPA's that's just mind-boggling. Go on their website, look at their ales (most notably their "Things of that Nature" series), and see for yourself -- TALK ABOUT THICC. And that thickness shows up here, entwined with Blackstack's distinct TANG and MOUTHFEEL, and it's just beautiful. I am grateful these two behemoths PROJEKTED together.
This IS one of those COMPLEX HAZIES, something out of a dream. It's got notes of alien daydreams, rustic-neon forest travels, liquified soil-aged golden nuggets, and wild diva frumunda cheese.
I'm a simple man. I see a TRIPLE/ >9% ABV IPA from BLACKSTACK, I buy it instantly. Same for THE BREWING PROJEKT (unless it has lactose in it... which is why I'm especially stoked to see a new DDH IPA from MODISTxBLACKSTACK that uses OAT-MILK. MODIST already uses mad oats for the malt, only makes sense.)

 

Pours a hazy golden straw color. smell is tropical with pineapple and citrus. Taste is citrus juice with some sweet malts. Soft mouthfeel tropical hops and ABV well hidden.
