A big, hoppy IPA with plenty of bite! Our assertive, hop-centric Double IPA has a lean malt backdrop and is brewed with four American hop varieties – Summit, Palisade, Cascade and Magnum. Piney, citrus, floral, not-for-the-timid!

From beerolution, Troisdorf, best before 05/25, tasting it with pleasure, two days ago, at Epalinges. Solid and old school ipa, medium body, malty, note of sweetness typical for a double, resinous, bitter and citrus, boozy, subtle.

12oz can, best before Feb 12, 2025, drunk May 6, 2025, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Clear, darker brass, with a large, somewhat fluffy, off-white head that is well-retained.
Typical WCIPA notes of grapefruit and pine but fairly rounded with good fruitiness in place of any hard resin or overly acidic citrus. Bit of crystal malt in there, but it's not horribly offensive. My first sniff was enjoyable and there's no alcohol. Deeper malts showing caramel and white bread richness linger on the finish alongside fruity yeast and citrus.
Whew, that's malty! But lots of base malt, some caramel, some bread. Not aggressively bitter, not soapy or resinous, nor boozey. For all the things it isn't, it's still not my favorite style of beer, either. There is a fair bit of dry pine, papery/toasty crystal malt and big breadiness. But it's clean and there's no booze. Hey, if you're in the mood for a WCIPA, you could do much, much worse.
