Getting My Beer On With 450 North Tropic Nuggets

Finally, I was able to get one of the Nuggets Series beers from 450 North Brewing and this NE Style DIPA did not disappoint for me. The beer itself provided a nice mouthfeel that was full of flavor, as well as a nice feel from the Double Dry Hopped process that brought in great aroma and flavor from the hops used. It had a nice juiciness and for me, I felt that it offered some nice tropical as well as citrusy flavor notes of pineapple, mango, orange, and grapefruit at the least. The finish is dry, but that can also be expected, and that dryness just made me want to drink more. At 8.5% ABV and 45 IBU, this beer plays out smooth without any booziness. A solid offering for my initiation to the brewery and one that I will say is worth trying for any fan of this style. Check out the video to see and hear more of my thoughts.
