Juicetree DIPA by Portage Brewing

I love a good DIPA. I love Dua Lipa. Listening to Dua Lipa while drinking a DIPA just sounds delightful. It’s the TRIPLE D! Dua Lipa, DIPA, Delight!

This Juicetree from Portage, out of Walker, MN, makes me think I never want another beer I can see through. When I first poured it was clear but then as the settled bits came in it turned into this delicious cloudy drink. I’m a fan of thick beer. If I needed a spoon to drink my beer, well, that’s a positive. It’s fruity and hoppy and just yummy.

This is the first time I’ve updated my blog in awhile and I didn’t look back to check how I was rating things before so I’m using a scale of how many thumbs up it is. I will say it is an 8.0 on the drunkenscale and it drinks so smooth that it’s dangerous.

I give this Juicetree by Portage 88 out of 100 thumbs up. So many thumbs...88 of them to be precise. 

Uinta Detour Double IPA

I'm an IPA man. I love my hops an bitterness and IBU's as much as anyone. Uinta is a brewery out of Salt Lake City, UT and this is the first beer I've ever had from them. If I love IPA's then it stands to reason that I'll love a double IPA twice as much right? Well, that's not far from the truth. This beast of a DIPA clocks in at 95 IBU which is just the perfect amount of bitter to make my tongue smile. If you tend to shy away from the bitter beer then stay far away from Detour. Another one high on the ABV, Detour pushes the Drinkenscale all the way up to 9.5. That's enough to make you feel it. You don't taste it much though. For being such a high ABV, Detour drinks nice and smooth with little to no alcohol burn. A worthy addition to my belly.
