Commercial Description:
Double-Wide I.P.A. uses Columbus and Magnum hops for both bittering and aroma with Chinook hops added in the whirlpool. It is dry hopped with generous amounts of Cascade, Bravo, Centennial, and Chinook hops. The resulting beer has a hop forward aroma, redolent of peach and apricot. The assertive flavor bursts with the citrus qualities of blood orange and lemon with a slight caramel malt backbone to balance the intense hop flavor. There is little restraint in the flavor of this beer; it is certainly not for the pedestrian palate.

750ml. Floral and malt aroma. Cloudy copper body with off white head that left good amount of lacing. Flavor was more malt than fruity citrus hop bite but smmoth and decent brew.

Bottle from ericandersnavy...thanks bro. Batch 8137? Nice red color. Monster head. Nice aroma of hops and malts. Taste is a well balanced DIPA... Nice maltynes and hop flavor but neithier out-does the other.. A little on the sweet side but over a super easy drink. Thanks Eric

750ml bottle purchased at Central Market in Mill Creek, WA. Pours a cloudy amber color with a very thick/foamy cream-colored head. Aroma: Strong hops and grapefruit. Flavor: Same as the aroma, with a hint of pine and white pepper.

750ml bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with light tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, hops, pine, orange zest, grapefruit and caramel. Flavor is sweet malts, caramel, light fruits, orange and other citrus. Nice looking beer with good balance. Nice sweet flavor for an IPA and not bitter but that is ok. Not that hoppy but has a nice flavor to it. Enjoyable.

Bottle as a gift. Pours a bright golden-amber color with a nice off-white head. Enticing aroma of piney hops and sweet malt. Flavor is sweet caramel/pale malt and citrus/pine hops with slight oxidative notes (but not really to a fault). Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Isn’t this more of a DIPA than a single?

Aroma was piney and malty. Flavor was pretty much the same thing. Sort of a muddy brown/copper color. Pretty good, maybe just a little heavy on the hops for me.

well balanced. on the bright and cheery side of astringent and thin... citrus, even a touch of lemon in the nose. a smidgen thin overall, and overpriced. Brings something new to table. great refreshing summer beer.
