This beer is all about the hops! Citrus, mango and pineapple aromas abound, but make no mistake, there is no fruit here, just a serious dry-hop regimen of Citra and Amarillo hops. We put in just enough malt backing to balance out the flavor, but Citra Double IPA is as close as it gets to chewing on a hop vine. Enjoy this one fresh!

Growler thanks to billshmeinke. Pours with a huge white head that slowly starts to recede over a hazy golden body. The head leaves behind excellent lacing, as does each sip. Nose is huge, citrus, tropical fruits, mango, papaya, lychee. Taste is papaya, mango, strawberry, tones of fruit with a bit of caramel on the finish. Well attenuated, medium carbonation. A great DIPA!!!

Appearance: Pours a hazy golden straw with a white head, leaving some lacing
Aroma: The beer was oxidized so the aroma was pretty bad

A very nice tasting beer. I hope to be able to try a fresh one sometime.

Draft at the Bistro DIPA Fest at 11AM, my first beer and favorite of the fest. Murky yellow orange with a medium pale yellowish head. Nose jumps out hoppy tones of pine and ivy. Flavor is bitter, bitter, and more bitter with background caramel undertones. Superb new beer; can’t wait to get to the brewpub next week for a growler.
