We’re back at it again with our friends @ Twin Elephant Brewing to bring you the newest entry to our Doppelbängers series, Doppelbängers: Gathering Clouds. With Twin showing us the secrets to their recipe, this is our take on their legendary hoppy beer. Originally an IPA, we bumped up the ABV slightly to 7.5% taking it to DIPA levels. Brewed with Spelt to make the beer softer and slightly sweeter, we layered down a massive Double Dry Hopping of Rakau, Motueka, and Vic Secret to create a perfect storm of bright tropical flavors. Pouring this beer into a glass reveals an opaque tangerine color and upon sipping we’re getting hit with notes of fresh squeezed OJ, ripe passion fruit, zesty lemon-lime, and sweet caramelized pineapple with a slightly dank finish to round everything out.
