COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Inspired by the highly hopped beers from the west coast, our double IPA is truly a hophead’s delight. Five varieties of American hops added throughout the boil create a wide range of flavors including pine and citrus, while generous dryhopping in the fermentor provides the distinct aroma of fresh hops. We guarantee that this is one of the freshest double IPA’s available, giving you a great reason to drink local.

On tap at the Manayunk Brew Pub. Poured a medium amber color with an averaged sized white head. Nice hoppy aroma and tastes - citris and flowers. Has a nice sweet balance to the bitter finish. Very good beer that I would definitely get again - the best I had there today.

A top notch IPA. Copper colored, with big hop nose. Hops and fruit in the taste, with some resiny finishing notes and even some floral sweetness. Marvelous.

michael-pollack (4962) - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 11, 2009
Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of hops, tropical fruit, pineapple, and citrus. Poured golden/yellow in color with no head. Hazy. Very sparkling. Flavor is medium to heavy bitter. Tastes of pineapple, hops, and light citrus. Light to medium body. Thinish, dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Bitter, dry finish. Makes up in flavor what it lacks in body.

Advance sample from the brewer, thanks Bill! Poured a golden color with a large white head and nice lacing on the glass. Strong citrus hop aroma. Bitter citrus (grapefruit) hop taste. Very enjoyable, this goes on tap tomorrow!
