Our Dorado Double IPA immediately hooks you with massive hops that never stop. Mash hopping, kettle hopping and dry hopping makes this beer a serious hop lover’s prize catch. It’s an amazingly drinkable, award-winning beer that’s as beautifully balanced as it is big.

Users review from 29.8.2015. Double IPA Mandarin aroma. Head stayed. Very crisp, sweet at first with great orange & lemon after taste with a warming after feeling. What a great DIPA & overall a fantastic beer

Bottle @ DTS. Sugary but also firnm hopbitter aroma with grapefruit and red berries. Grapefruityflavor with mint and loads of hops. Even a bit medecinal, but the grapefruit overrules all other flavors. Huge grassy and citrussy hopbitter aftertaste.

22 oz. bottle. Pours clear gold, with a medium, fizzy, tan head. The nose is butterscotch, rye, spruce, and strong floral notes. Sweet and malty, with a smooth, assertive bitterness. Medium to heavy body, smooth, bubbly, and clean. This is a solid, nicely aromatic and balanced IPA.

Tap@Syltan Bar, Malmö - Amber pour with white head. Sweet fruity and malty aroma and taste, solid sweet caramel malty base, some tropical fruity hits punching through, solid hoppy bitter finish. Lovely old skool dipa.

almost clear dark orange to amber colour, large, creamy off-white head; aroma of pine resin, grapefruit, orange zest oils, lemongrass, celery and biscuit; taste of devastating hoppy bitterness with resiny and grapefruity notes, slight celery as well as biscuity-malty and honey sweetness - really schizophrenic! I love it!
