Liberally hopped to an audacious degree, our Belgian Double IPA reaches across the aisle to bridge the seemingly contradictory brewing philosophies of the old world and new. Our beer uses generous portions of Pilsner and Vienna malts to give it its hazy golden color and rocky white head. Two independent dry hop additions of Simcoe, Chinook, Amarillo, Hallertauer, and Spalt put aside their differences to form a delicious coalition. Floral grassiness dominates the nose with fruity hints of bright citrus well represented. Its subtle spicy flavor comes from a Belgian yeast as well as generous doses of German hops in the kettle. These aggressive flavors are complemented by a determined bitterness and a full but dry finish. All of these characteristics come together in a nonpartisan spirit of cooperation to form a beer that is both righteously flavorful and drinkable. Enjoy!

Pours clear golden with a fairly thick and frothy eggshell head. Hoppy aroma has a strong fruity overtone, mainly citrus with some pear, and a malty underpinning. Flavor is hoppy and fruity, just a little bitter, with hints of evergreen wood and sweetish malt. Mouthfeel has average body but strong, sharp and persistent fizz. Maybe not audacious, but certainly hoppy.

22 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy straw yellow with a big meringue like white head that retains well and laces the glass some.
The aroma is sweet wheaty malts, some fruit and a lot of musty Belgian character and some pepper and bubblegum.
The flavor is sweet fruity malts, earthy yeast and a decent bitter finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, a nice Belgian IPA.
