  • Pours clear with almost two fingers of off-white foam. Retention is solid, leaving lacing as it recedes that is narrowly thick.

    Aroma of deep caramel, almost borders on a barley wine. Almost dark fruits. Spice hops. Faint hints of alcohol.

    Taste follows the nose. Dark, deep caramel carries from start to finish. Spice hops lend some balance. Not really bitter.

    Thick body. Minimal carbonation that finishes with booze.

    Grabbing a DIPA makes me want hops, tons of hops. Aroma should wack me while the flavors are full of bountiful hops. This beer doesn't bring. There is a chance the bottle was old, lack of date only allows me to assume. If you want a light barley wine, this is the beer for you. Enjoy!

Beer Notes
  • At Left Coast Brewing Co. we pride ourselves on being one of the pioneers of Double IPA style craft beer. This hop monster uses Premium American 2– Row and a touch of light crystal malt to create a solid malt foundation. Five different Hop Varieties are used in the Hop Juice. It spends two weeks dry hopping in fermenter contributing to its great hop aroma. Starts out sweet and finishes with the crisp bitterness of a Double IPA. This drinkable blend will have you HOPPING till nights end.
