Imagine what would happen if an Orange Julius ran out of juice -- utter and total mayhem, no doubt. That’s basically what happens every time Fat Orange Cat Brew Co. releases a beer -- their seasonal small-batch NE-style juice bombs create craft fervor across Connecticut.

With dank apricot-orange juiciness and a hidden 8.75% ABV, 4.06 UT-rated today’s Someone In My Head DIPA is less-than-easy to get your hands on...but from the first sip we NEED more and more hopjuice flavor!

The first taste is all clementine citrus, a little burst of energy that signals the behemoth hops to come. Tangy white grapefruits and ripe apricots bask in a pool of barely-there booze. After that, a resinous river of pine washes away the juice in a cascade of brisk bitterness, invoking your desire for another sweet sip…

Someone’s not in your head -- someone, named piney resin apricot juice, is in your glass, and you can’t stop trying to get your lips around more. We know -- we’re obsessed with Fat Orange Cats’ brews, too.
