Our Kickstarter supporters Debby and Steve helped us design and brew this beer, and came up with this great name! This beer is named after the Doubloon Wheaten Terrier dog breed. An India Wheat Ale is a new style featuring wheat malt in the grain bill while still being a heavily hopped IPA. It uses a clean American Yeast strain to let the hops sit prominently on top of the soft, wheat based malt bill. The hop profile is citrus forward – grapefruit and orange zest – with the bitterness complementing the significant hop presence but maintaining balance with the soft wheat malt.

Draft at the source as Wheat IPA, 6.8% abv, 50 IBU. I assume this is the same beer, but could also be a new entry. Lear pale yellow color, white edge head. Aroma of straw bubblegum. Taste is bitter straw and hay. Original.

On tap at Reuben's tasting room, pours a fairly clean golden with a small white head. Aroma is quite zesty, with grapefruit and orange zest, some citrus hops and some noticeable wheat notes. Flavour is very hoppy, with loads of pungent piney and citrusy hops, very low profile wheat notes, very thin malt profile. Very hop-dominant, with what feels like more than 50 IBU. Solid stuff.
