Style: Northeast-Style Double IPA
ABV: 8.2%
Hops: Strata, Mosaic, Idaho 7
Jonny: 8.2/10
It's not remarkably sweet in any capacity and the hops are definitely the stars of this beer. It's very pungent and hop forward and has a really dank aroma (true to the can) which I'm really digging. I like that it's not too sweet. It has a nice hop presence with a punchy bitterness on the finish. It's a clean drinking beer and it's quite pleasant.
Max: 7/10
At 8.2%, this is a very big beer and it's something that, especially in the vein of a New England IPA, could drink really heavy. This does not, which pleasantly surprised me. There's a good amount of sweetness as well as bitterness which makes this a great middle ground for proponents of a traditionally sweet New England IPA as well as something with a more balanced bitterness. It definitely put Track 7 back on my radar. Excited for what they do next!
