Double Fist

Originally brewed to celebrate batch #100 for the year 2011, and the 2nd installment in the Fist trilogy, Double Fist ® is an American Double Pale Ale. We tried to keep the integrity of the original Iron Fist Pale Ale recipe utilizing 2-row, Red Wheat, Munich and Crystal to achieve a deep orange color and subtle caramel sweetness but with a smaller batch size to increase the fermentable sugar concentration. Also, we shoveled in a large quantity of Warrior hops for bittering in the kettle and a massive addition of Centennial and Cascade in the whirlpool for their proven flowery/ fruity aromas and flavor.

To really up the ante on the hop aroma we dry-hopped this ale with large quantities of Amarillo,Cascade, Chinook, and Citra to infuse a deep resinous citrus blast that is reminiscent of cutting into a fresh bag of hop pellets! This beer is a true hop experience but has enough of a malt backbone to hold up to the hop barrage.
