This fruity, estery double altbier is brewed in the traditional-ish style of the Doppelsticke, which is the widely known secret Germanic-esque strong ale. Like it’s California Common counterpart, we fermented this ale at a lower temperature to pull out the sulphur-y bite from the yeast, then dry-hopped it with some dank, Sticky hops, including some brand-spankin’-new Enigma hops from the great Down Under!

12 oz bottle poured. Pours a glowing orange color with a ton of sticky foam head and lacing. Heavy citrus hop forward aroma. Creamy thick body. This beer tasted a little off putting to me at first, but it started to grow on me, at least a little. Rich, sweet tropical fruit flavor with a hoppy finish. Unique for the style for sure if you ask me. Overly sweet late palate. Overtall, this beer didn’t do it for me.

Draft. A- Hoppy, resinous, fruits. A- Amber color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Bitter, resinous, fruity, sticky. P- Full body, sticky texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- Unlike anything I’ve ever had for sure. Very bitter but balanced with a fruity palate and some caramel. Sticky is definitely a part of it.

Tap at The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy dark gold with a creamy white head. Aroma has hints of dankness, and it’s hard to find malt. Med + body. It is dank. Some mix of citrus/pine/fruit? Malt is truly second tier to the hop. I doubt I would have identified this as an alt. And the "word play" is .... Oh well. Damn hoppy/good ale.
