Hangar 24 Double IPA

From Hangar 24 – You want hops? You got it! This beer is brewed with an insane amount of four different American style hops: Columbus, Amarillo, Simcoe and Citra. The aroma of fresh hops practically spills out of the glass. Flavors of citrus, pine, tropical fruits and grapefruit dominate. There is a balancing sweetness to the hop bitterness that comes from a generous addition of locally produced honey. This beer is dangerously drinkable for its potency, so be careful.

Appearance: Pours a deep amber with minimal suds atop. Leaves spotty lacing behind.

Overall: Above average double IPA. For me, it was a bit too earthy, points for not being too sugary.
