Beer Review: Alpha Abstraction Vol. 8 (Wild Leap Brew Co.)

One of the best things to do on a cold Thursday night in mid-November is to drink a delicious IPA; and watch the newly released Disney+ – in particular, watching The Mandalorian and then the Simpsons.

So thats exactly what I did last night. I got under the covers, booted up the Disney+ to watch the new Mandalorian show and drank a fantastic DIPA.

Beer: Alpha Abstraction Vol. 8
Brewery: Wild Leap Brew Co.
Style: IPA – Imperial/ Double New England
ABV: 8%
IBU: 46
Untappd Write-Up: The eighth edition of the Alpha Abstraction series, Volume 8 is a juicy, double dry-hopped IPA with Enigma hops.

This is a beautiful looking DIPA – New England style; and an even better tasting one. Appearance is that of a typical new NEIPA. Hazy, unfiltered. Nice head to it, nice body, nice look and appearance as a whole.

Taste is every better. This is a very hop juice / orange juice to come up for. Great mouthfeel, great flavors. The hops are strong, powerful, and pungent, but the hops combine to make a nice tasting hop juice rather than a hop overload thats just too much to taste and too many different hop combinations and flavors. Nope, this is spot on juice that is extremely delicious.

My Untappd Rating: ***.75
Global Untappd Rating: 4.17 (as of 11.15.19)

Thanks for reading everyone.

Cheers!
