Fikon, gurkmeja och torkad frukt. Megakropp och balansen kan inte bli mycket bättre. Slutsats: Jävligt bra.

Founders, as they so often do, win the battle here again for me. Hopslam is great, but Double Trouble takes things to just higher a level with the full aromatics, juicy flavor, and just a bit of resistance in the mouthfeel. Love, as always.

Pours clear gold with a perfect head. Aroma is DANK! Mango and peach all the way, some more aggressive pine notes in the background. Taste is dank pine and citrus grove, just perfect for a double IPA. Body is medium/heavy, creamy, medium carbonation froths up due to thick body, long rich hoppy honey finish. Overall, completely satisfying. Better than Hopslam and Dreadnaught this year in my opinion.

12oz bottle. Everything I expect was here. Big hops, big malt backbone. Nice nose, great taste. Solid finish and a great body. I would love to get one of these on tap at the brewery one day.

Poured a hazy gold from a 12oz bottle. Wonderful lacing and lots of fruit on the nose. Bitter in the middle but quickly vanished with a tart sweetness. Loved the hops and didn’t remember this being as good!

Poured from a bottle dated 1/6/2012. Poured with little to no head with a slight cloudiness. Nice citrus, grapefruit aroma and taste. This batch is slightly bitter than I remember it and in this case the bitterness lingers and lingers. A great DIPA!
