I have a tall boy can of Double Tap from the Lakeline Total Wine in Cedar Park. My first beer from the brewery, time to check it out. A tulip glass in position, I tilt the can for the pour. A cloudy medium gold body followed by a proper top of wholly white foam that slowly settles to a cover. Lifting the glass for a smell, hoppy, yellow fruit and a bit of tropical. I am pulled in. The taste, I can say it blows the scent out of the water. Hops in abundance, a pineapple sweetness, malt, grain, hay, kiwi, lemon, cane syrup and pine bark. I appreciate the bitterness but hard to believe it is 100 IBU like the label says. And talking about the label, it has a Las Vegas Raiders vibe to it, rather cool. But I digress. Very full, very dense. I know the high abv is in there, it lurks around the edges. Glad I picked this brew up. The sum is greater than its parts.

Sampled at the source. Clear orange color, fast dying head. Aroma is light herbal hints and hints of cheese. Old hops?? Body is medium with an syurpy texture. Sticky. Really on the sweet side, hops are here but don’t counterbalance the malts.
