  • Pours clear with half pour of white, tightly packed foam. Retention is above average. Lacing is very thick , coating, and very sticky.

    Aroma is fruit an floral hops. There is an underlying grain that pokes through.

    Taste allows for a sweetness with more hop bitterness than hop flavor. There is a strong sense of alcohol to the finish.

    Medium body with a slight creaminess that could be sensed as a bit heavier. Heavy for an IPA. Medium carbonation.

    A little unbalanced for me with a bitterness that doesn't have the malt bite to subdue. Hop flavor is minimal. I would have it again but there are a lot of IIPAs that I would turn to first, still not a bad beer. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • Assertive and drinkable. Double IPA is California’s gift to beer lovers. Ours is brewed with four distinctly American hops: Centennial, Citra, Columbus and Simcoe, all beautifully balanced by five malts and generous additions of local orange blossom honey. An intense sensory experience — the fresh aroma of citrus, pine and grapefruit with the bold taste of hops and sweet honey.
