This beer was conceived with the intent to push the concept of Doppelganger to the limit of flavor and intensity. Both the kettle hopping rates and dry hopping rates were increased while keeping the base beer the same. The result is intense, but also surprising in its balance and softness. The mouthfeel is viscous and coating with flavors of overripe mango, dank citrus, and tropical fruit balanced by a sharp but pleasant finish. A treat to warm you up as a true New England winter takes hold!

Canned 12/9/16, drunk 12/21/16.
Large white head shows moderately-strong retention atop a moderately hazy, deep golden-bronze body.
Typical watermelon, sweet lime, cherry skin and big mango notes of the Julius-style IPAs, though here it’s intensified due to the higher gravity. So this is probably akin to King Julius or King Jjjulius. I always find alter ego and doppelganger to be a little more intense, spicy and dank than the Julius series, neither for better or worse and so it goes here, reminding almost a bit of Very Green in its intense spiciness and strong passion fruit and lime character.
The flavor follows suit but with a stronger dryness than I’d expect for its size turning the beer incredibly drinkable with layers of passion fruit, lime, mango, cherry and watermelon. Lots of dank, spicy, green character, lovely soft minerality as with all of their beers and a tight carbonation and supple, malty texture with no flaw or alcohol. Another masterpiece, but then, I never thought it wouldn’t be.

Pours a muddy orange, with minimal head. Strong aroma of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is very citrusy, with some sweetness and more than a little mango. Strong hop bitterness in the finish. Another winner.
