A Note on This Beer

I’m not sure which particularly odd, wacky-haired person inspired Drekker’s Long Haired Freaky People Imperial IPA.

It was probably someone like Tavour team member Kevin. He’s kind of a quirky guy, but when it comes to beer, he REALLY knows what he’s talking about. And, being the accomplished hophead he is, he has some crazy high expectations for Drekker’s IPAs.

Brewed with 100% Vic Secret Hops, Long Haired Freaky People overflows with delightfully succulent notes of drippy lime, ripe pineapple, and tangy mandarin orange. Aromas of sweet stone fruit float from its smooth, sunset-orange pour.

After a citrusy swig of this 8.2% ABV hopbomb, Kevin agrees — considering the wild amount of juicy flavor Drekker extracted from a single hop, it’s no wonder these North Dakota brewmasters are US Open Beer Champs.

So, long hair, short hair, no hair — if you’re an IPA fan thirsty for dank juice backed with plenty of boozy-goodness, look no further! Long Haired Freaky People is for the hopheads, and it’s Kevin-approved.

One of the better DIPA’s I’ve had. Drekker “usually” doesn’t disappoint

Soft, hoppy and dank with citrus, tropical and some stone fruit flavors. Bitter at the end (more than I anticipated)

Interesting flavor. Not a typical NEIPA, with a kind of smoky(ish) finish, but I like it for what it is, which is different.

gave it .5 because all my cans were flat and had leaked during shipment. Wasn't able to drink any of them.

Very hoppy, very bitter, reminds me of stone. And stone is cheaper in this case. Not a bad beer. But not one I’ll be purchasing again.

Not sure if I got a bad batch, but mine had zero head, even with a boisterous pour. Very flat. Decent taste. I’ll reevaluate with my second can.

i continue to be underwhelmed by Drekker IPAs... maybe it’s the house yeast?
