Since starting the Instagram account that goes with this blog (follow The Drinking Lawyer on Instagram) I have entered dozens of giveaways. I had never won one until last week when I won a giveaway from @IPAlot. Not only did I get a new glass and t-shirt but a sweet four pack of two Triple IPAs that he collaborated with Electric Brewing Company with. I was told that these beers were awesome and tonight’s #NewBrewThursday did not disappoint. Especially because it features a hop that I am really starting to love, Strata.
‘Inner Crazy (Strata)’ pours into the glass a hazy yellow with a nice white head. As far as I know, I have never had a triple dry hopped IPA and I have to say that I am a BIG fan. It has heavy notes of sweet melon from the Strata hops that linger ever-so-slightly. The taste is fantastic. With a thick, yet soft, mouthfeel that coats the entire palate before delivering a big juicy punch of Strata. The other hops play nicely to support the Strata and it is just delightful with a slight bitterness that lingers just so on the tongue. Despite being a Triple IPA with an ABV of 10% it is not overly heavy and boozy. But be warned, it is super drinkable and you’ll be three-quarters done with the glass before you know it.
In all, the only downside to this beer is that I only have one
more left.
