Eighty-Eight Brewing Double Dare – American Double / Imperial IPA at 7.7% ABV | 88 IBU

Eighty-Eight Brewing Double Dare American Double / Imperial IPA at 7.7% ABV | 88 IBU (C$5.90 at Collective, 500 ml, packaged on 1-May-2019, acquired 14-Jun-2019, reviewed 23-Jun-2019)

Appearance: clear pale amber with two fingers of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (5/5) Aroma: dank pine, citrus, caramel, green leafy weeds, earth. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium slightly sticky body, moderate carbonation, off-dry building lingering bitter warming finish. (4/5)

Huge West Coast DIPA, with massive pine and citrus supported by an emphatic caramel that stops short of overwhelming. Well-balanced despite being big, beefy, and slightly old-fashioned. (17/20)

8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
