Pack of Shooters
BlackStack Brewing

Pack of Shooters pours a hazy, bright yellow, with a small, but long-lasting and lacing head. The aroma has big notes of dry melon. The flavor is mildly sweet, with notes of melon, a dry finish, and overall a rich flavor profile. Good feel. Overall, full of dried melon fruit flavors, a little sweeter, but not overdone

Hazy, straw colored body. One finger of white head with tiny bubbles, quickly retreats to a thin cap and high ring. Leaves behind thick horizontal layers of lacing.
Aroma of orange, pineapple, passion fruit, and mango. Definite onion vibe.
Taste is orange sherbet, pineapple, green melon, coconut, and mint. Sweet overall, and very low level of bitterness. Long lasting aftertaste with fruited ice cream theme.

Overall: A collab with Barrel Theory Brewing. Orange citrus hop flavors, but the Galaxy hop shines here with lots of passionfruit. Some grape and mango flavors underneath. The flavors are robust and this is incredibly juicy from the DDH. An outstanding collab and both of these breweries are the top of the NEIPA game in Minnesota. (Rating: 4.24+)

 

A - Pours out a hazy pale yellow-orange body, with a short, dense white head that fades to a persistent cap. Clumpy lacing.

S - Pineapple, pine, and hoppy dankness mingle in a lovely nose.

T - The open is pure pineapple juice, a moderately acidic juicy middle brings grapefruit highlights and malty sweetness, a touch of spearmint, and a soft, pithy bitterness in the finish.

M - Moderate weight and decent carbonation, and does not linger, a slightly tingling scrub, and a clean, soft close.

O - This is a solid, highly hopped NEIPA. Tropical fruit and lovely feel, it definitely works for me.
