Jack's Abby: Mass Rising Double IPL

This is the first time I have ever heard of and tasted an IPL. Many beer aficionados know of the IPA, but the IPL is something that I have never seen before. Jack's Abby Brewing based out of Framingham, Massachusetts, has created the Mass Rising Double IPL. If you think that the IPL is going to taste similar to an IPA you would be wrong. The Mass Rising Double IPL has a unique hops flavor that does not taste anything like an IPA. Jack's Abby introduces hops throughout the brewing process along with dry hopping to create a unique lager that is bitter with hops and has the malty sweetness of a lager. Founded in 2011, Jack's Abby has already won several awards including a gold medal for their Framinghammer Baltic-style Porter at the 2014 World Beer Cup. Besides the Mass Rising IPL, Jack's Abby brews a variety of beers that are sure to please any beer aficionado. If you live outside of Eastern New England, you may not be able to find Jack's Abby at your local bar or liquor store. If you do live in Eastern New England, please look for offerings by Jack's Abby. Happy drinking!
