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.

Bottle sampled on 2/1/08: Pours a transparent copper orange with a large, well-lacing pillowy off-white head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops and sweet caramel malt with some piny floral character. Body starts fairly full and well carbonated with a nice malty sweetness and fresh citrusy hop balance. Finishes full and bittersweet with a touch of warmth. A pretty nice IIPA, thanks to csbosox for the bottle.

Think this was actually meant as a tribute to my life lived in a trailer, but it is most certainly not trash. Highly enjoyable. I need to either ship the other bottle I have or drink it as I don’t generally think IIPAs should be aged,

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and grapefruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, grapefruit, and oranges, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks Storm for sharing.

Canadian Festivus. Foamy head on dark cloudy orange. Aroma of hops and citrus. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Lots of citrus thorought the sip and the glass. The alcohol is subtle. The malt is gentle and picks up in the middle and lifts the hops to the finish. 55 IBU seems restrained for 8.5% ABV.

Big thanks to mreusch for this gem. Pours a clear copper with nice sized frothy off-white head. Citrus and pine nose with some sweetness from the malt. Flavor is hoppy yet mellowed by the sweet malt with some oak hints. Medium body with a clean and dry finish.

Bottle from Sean. Thanks pole smoke. Sean claims he brown waxed all of my bottles by sticking them in his ass. Does that make him more flamboyant than most people I know? Yes. Anyway, after struggling to get the cork out of this one (sean lodged it too far in), it suddenly popped off filling the air with alot of hops and sweet smells. Taste is smooth, not really bitter, and something like, honey in it. Fruity and sweet, and really good actually. I have drank a few beers from these guys, and most of them are good. This one is exceptional. Very nice stuff! Thanks Saclyn.

purchased this 750 in iowa city at john’s grocery. all i remember about having it was that it was pretty hoppy, the hops were fresh, and i liked it a lot. since i’m in pursuit of 1000 and ratebeer has been down so much lately, shitty ratings will have to suffice here and there.

Bottle. Dark ruby brown with a thick lasting foamy head. Nose-fruity, grapefruit, unsweet PNW hops, slight white spices and soap. Taste-medium bitter, cola, hay, not sticky, slight earth, slight strawberry, hint of molasses, very clean and mild.
