A Note on This Beer

With access to brews like today’s Free Strata from BlackStack Brewing, it’s amazing to me that anyone in St. Paul, Minnesota gets anything done.

When I first tried this 10% ABV juicebomb, I got so wrapped up in its 100% Strata Hop dankness that I totally forgot about the booze and sucked down 2 cans in 45 minutes. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the afternoon happily dozing on the couch. 

What can I say? This brew’s flavors of fresh squeezed OJ, ruby red grapefruit, dank papaya, and tropical passionfruit hide that massive ABV so well, I just couldn’t put the pint down! 

And judging by the eye-catching 4.36 on Untappd, there are plenty of folks who can’t stop sipping. Just check out some of the comments:

  • “BlackStack IPAs are elite and this is no different.” @Corey K.
  • “Another BlackStack homerun!” @Adam G.
  • “Honestly don’t even know how to rate these anymore. Every BlackStack TIPA I have makes me even more of a snob.” @daddyborch.


Hey, it’s hard not to feel a little snobby with a fridge full of this brew! But, be warned — if you manage to get your hands on a can or two, remember that big ABV and at least TRY to pace yourself.

Rated 4.36 on Untappd!

Dank, citrus, and hazy. Little more bitter but it is a TIPA so it's to be expected. Really enjoyed this one

A 10%abv wonderland of flavor and hops a masterclass in what a hazy iPa should be. Loved this beer and am so glad I ordered 2. Wish I had gotten more. Thank you for this great great beer.

4.68/5 look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.75 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.75 Poured from a 16 ounce can into a snifter. Look- Straw, hazy, average lacing, below average head retention. Smell- Dank, earthy, mango, pineapple, orange, melon. Taste- Orange, mango, papaya, pineapple, ripe melon, grassy, slightly sweet/boozy finish. Feel- Low bitterness, full body, soft, creamy, clean finish, below average carbonation. Overall- Stellar beer, would never guess it is 10% ABV.

Peach and mango on the nose, with guava mixed in on the palate. Full of tropical and citrus flavor! Very smooth.

This is very smooth. Every sip gives you a great sense of the flavor packed in. Great strong abv while still maintaining a magnificent taste and kick of hops at the end. Recommended!

Unfortunately I only purchased one can and it wasn't quite as cold as I would prefer when I tried it, but over all was very impressed. It really did have a mix of fruity undertones to it, good stuff.

Big, boozy triple and yet still somehow light. Extremely easy drinking and very dangerous

Strata at its finest; dank passion fruit with citrusy strawberries. Imminently crushable for a trip
