COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It’s a job. And a hazardous one at that. Benefits, you ask? I hardly think so. But the show must go on. So, it’s with bravado that the Rodeo Clown takes his place in the arena lights. Whether or not he’s insane is not important right now. It’s with grit and intensity that the Clown steps in the path of almost certain destruction. Our Double IPA is much the same. At 9.5% ABV, Rodeo Clown Double IPA coats the tongue in bitterness and packs a punch that will knock a bull on its ass . Intense and maybe a little insane drink carefully, but drink often. Ladies and Gentlemen, let the show begin.

Maltiest double IPA I can recall. Caramel, pine resin, grapefruit. Big and boozy and well-balanced.

Delirium (636) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JAN 13, 2013
Draught. Pours cloudy amber-orange, with a small white head. Aroma is sweet malt and resiny hops. Flavor is... well, those same things. It’s what you expect from a DIPA, but it’s very nicely done; everything holds together well. With the extra malt backing the hops are slightly less forward than in their Hopadillo IPA, but it’s still on the hoppy side of the DIPA spectrum. Tasty.

onceblind (2535) - Denver, Colorado, USA - DEC 27, 2012
Slightly hazy orange with a thin rocky white head. Blissful aroma of sweet caramel, orange zest, and resinous hoppy bitterness. Flavor was much the same. While quite bitter and slightly boozy, there was a ton of caramel sweetness, and a tone of orange zest, with a lot of sweetness much like orange candy. But bitter and hoppy. Quite large but exceptionally balanced and quite caramel-sweet for a DIPA.

This is a solid double IPA. Very strong, rich malt backbone. Very powerful aroma and taste. Resinous, woody pine, and citrus. If you’re a fan of subtlety, this isn’t for you.

Had about a half pint at the tour. This is the beer you drink if you like hard liquor and nothing is around. Its very strong and i could actually taste the alcohol in it. This ones more for sipping. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jbeatty (505) - New York, USA - NOV 24, 2012
Can,11/24/2012, Pours clear amber, medium frothy head with decent retention, watery lacing. Aroma is spicy caramel malts with nice citrus, tropical hop notes- pineapple, melon, orange- pine resin secondary. Taste is sweet caramel malts, blending nicely with big piney, tongue tingling hops, light citrus. Medium palate, avoids being too resinous so pretty smooth and drinkable. Not bad at all.

Tried this on tap at Mongoose versus Cobra in Houston, TX. A big super hoppy double IPA, it'll make your tongue tingle. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
