This amplified version of our flagship American IPA, Congress Street, is a focused exhibition of the Australian Galaxy Hop. Yellow-orange straw in appearance with a thick milky haze, Double Dry Hopped Congress Street emits fragrant aromatics of ripe mango, resinous spruce tips, candied peach, and underripe pineapple. Bold, rich flavors of guava, juicy nectarine, and white grapefruit rush over the palate while notes of cedar and dragonfruit provide a balanced, yet slick finish with a moderate bite. Features a full, pillowy mouthfeel with soft, effervescent carbonation.

47,3 cl can @ home, canned 28.1.2019. Thanks tiong! Aroma has tropical fruits, pineapple juice and grapefruit. Flavour has tropical fruits, grapefruit, some pineapple juice. Some mellow harsh bitternes occurs on some sips. Crisp and refreshing, one of the best NEIPAs I’ve had.

Canned 28/1/2019. Thanks Vastactiv! Pours hazy orange color. Balanced. Wow. Juicy with fruits, ripeness, grapefruits, citrus. Awesome drinkability. No hop burn, just smooth and some light bitterness. Amazing.

(Can, 0.473 l, thanks VastActiv, 20190215) The beer poured cloudy and yellow. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had pine, resin and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, pine, citricness, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. Ugly looks but excellent taste and aroma. Balanced.

Tall can (thx, Alex M.!) at Ash's with Jamey and Alex. Packaged 2018-09-07. Pours a cloudy peach color with a tan head. Aroma is a bit weedy, tooth paste freshness, juiciness, some fruits. Similar taste. Superdank. Good one.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/11/2017. Pours opaquely hazy golden/orange/green color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very mild pine, herbal, grassy, zesty bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, grapefruit, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, berry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 7.2%. Overall this is an outstanding NEIPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the very mildly bitter/drying finish. Outstanding soft feel for the style. Very juicy and lightly dank Galaxy hop complexity; balanced pale/wheat malt backbone, not overly sweet/heavy for the style. Held up extremely well considering the can dating. I'm sure fresh would be mind blowing, as I had regular Congress Street a while ago. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
