Description
On St. Patrick’s Day 2007, Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom was unveiled to a thirsty public. Double Mountain was founded by Matt Swihart and Charlie Devereaux with a clear mission: make great beer for craft beer fans! Ours is a “brewers’ brewery”, with an uncompromising focus on beer quality. From the beginning, our goal was to make beers that we liked to drink. All of our beers are served up unfiltered and long-aged, to deliver maximum flavor and character. The beers can be very complex and assertive, but with the ultimate goal of proper balance. We aim to satisfy both the hardcore aficionados and the more casual craft beer fan, all in the same glass.

On tap at the BP. Light amber with a subtle hoppy aro.a. Rather big hop flavor. Nice fairly strong bitteringg with a moderate malt back bone. A touch lemony. Nice and flavorfull.

Light hazy golden yelloe with a thin skin of a head. Light bready malt flavor and a surprisingly crisp bright bite. Sont finish.

Amber-accented gold, fairly bright. The aroma is mainly woody, with a slight citrus accent. Rich, drippy brew...grapefruity/woody with lots of malt chewiness. These malts seem mostly pale and munich - not getting much crystal. Resiny finish. Not half bad, this one.

Hazy amber colour. Slightly spicy caramel and brown sugar nose with a hint of hop herbaceousness. Very quaffable - heck, slightly watery - with a balanced Simcoe-toast-caramel character. Somehow I wish for more in this brew but that’s not to say I don’t like what’s there.

Slighty hazy gold colour. Light aroma is woody, grapefruity. Flavourwise, this is crisp, lemony with light wood and grapefruit. It’s brisk, too, barely balanced by pale malts. The brewer’s description reads like this beer is his baby and it tastes like it as well.

Gorgeous dark reddish-brown colour. Chewy caramel-toffee malts on the nose. Caramel to the fore, with plums and brown sugar through the middle. Hops appear as a hint of dryness (45 IBUs).

Murky chestnut. Not much aroma - vague nuts and grain. Toffee chewiness overtop of nuttiness with a grainy, slightly astringent finish.

Pale yellow, opaque. Light fruitiness in the nose with subtle pale malts. Rather harsh graininess, plus the dull, clunky Perle hops (should really have used a nobler variety) plus all the yeast (which lends a footiness) makes this not only a poor kolsch but an ineffective beer overall. Wish I had what Belmont was pouring!
