“With our 2XIPA, a massive dry hop brings a feverishly hoppy and well-balanced Double IPA. Citrusy hops tease the senses with big aromatics and certifiable bitterness. An enormous haul of hops, including Simcoe and Citra, deliver notes of grapefruit, lemon and doughy sweetness. Double your expectations because this is an ale that demands reverence.”
Okay. There is a pretty good balance between the piney Simcoe and the citrusy/tropical Citra hops. I don’t know about the doughy sweetness, though. The strong bitter finish accentuates the high alcohol (8.2%). Tried another one a day later, when it wasn’t quite as hot up here in my aboveground lair, and found that the Citra stands out a little more when it’s colder. The alcohol still comes to call, but on the whole I’d say I like it better cold.
