A Dank IPA under 7% ABV

I would say Troegs Hop Knife.

 

Julius or blind pig. celebration ale is pretty good but I wouldn't really call it dank

 

Julius...dank? thats about the last thing id describe it as. better have a friend ship me some to get to the bottom of this! ha.

My vote would be Ska-Modus Hoperandi

 

I second this.

 

LT Dank from Wicked Weed ar 6.5 Abv . It's far better than the 88 ba score IMO, I'm thinking its unfairly or subconsciously being compared to the big fruity IPAs. If it's fresh it's really a pleasant surprise, well worth buying a 6.

 

I know a local bottle shop that has cans in their cold case. I've just added it to my to-try shopping list for my next trip in there.

 

Had Dankosaurus recently, definitely fits your criteria.

 

Just check the dates, but I suspect this style might be a bit more forgiving on a bit of age.

 

Really an outstanding beer, IMO trade worthy in and by itself.

 

Budweiser and a bong hit

 

to enjoy Budweiser you'd have to make it a massive crack hit. then I'd have to drink the bud to try to slow my heart down

Tropical Torpedo is very dank IMO

 

Dankosaurus by Cedar Creek Brewing. Full of dank and just under 7% (6.8%). But then again, it's a beer that's hard to find outside TX.

 

Yeah, good point.

What's been your experience with freshness relative to when it was canned?

 

Fortunately the deliveries to my beer store are always current on WW beers. They're all usually under 30 days old. I was assuming Pa stock might lag a bit, whether this is true I don't know, just an assumption. But the dank, piney beers I've had that have had some
age seem to be pretty damn good. So it's a extrapolation over actual experience on LT Dank. These type of hops seem to age better than the fruity hops or beers that are aggressively dry hopped. They seem to fade much quicker.

Good beer, the earth won't spin, you won't howl, but it's better than most of stuff on the shelf. IMO of course. In this style I'd opt to Chinookered from Lawson's and Pure Hoppiness when it was from SD as the best in class. But my palates a bit strange sometimes.

 

Drinking a Double Dry Hopped Fort Point Pale Ale from Trillium right now and it's pretty dank....

 

Seeing this pop up fresh here in ATL I need to pick up a six on your recommendation!
