What beer are you drinking now? #4305

1) BlackStack More Than Just A Phase (8.3% no canning date): A NIPEA from Minnesota with Mosaic, New Zealand Nectaron & experimental HBC 1019 for flavors of juicy pineapple, mango, berries, grape with a smooth stonefruit and mango creamy finish.
versus
2) BlackStack Pseudoscience (8.4% no canning date): A NEIPA from Minnesota with Citra, Nectaron, and Nelson for flavors of Orange citrus, pineapple, white grape, berries, and mango. Clean. (Correctly matched the two beers blind)

Winner: BlackStack Pseudoscience
BlackStack IPA Battle, but an underlying Phase Three and Toppling Goliath Battle.
First is More Than Just A Phase, a collab with Phase Three. Mosaic plus Nectaron, an excellent combo. Extremely aromatic with a sweet grape, melon, and mango/stonefruit flavor. Absolutely excellent.
Next is Pseudoscience, a collab with Toppling Goliath. Possibly even a better hop combo with Citra, Mosaic, and Nelson. Possibly the best hop combination that I know of from two of the best NEIPA breweries in the Midwest. It doesn't really get better than this. Giving this a World-Class rating.
