double bangin’

There are feather-light beers that delight with their delicate aroma, low alcohol content, and lean body. And there are brews so fierce, powerful, and powerful that your world starts to wobble after just a few sips. Rye River's Double Bangin' Double IPA definitely falls into the latter category, providing plenty of momentum in the glass (and on the tongue) with its generous buoyancy and a blend of pine resin, pink grapefruit, and oven-fresh biscuits.

This double India Pale Ale boasts a substantial 8.0% alcohol content and presents itself in a finely clouded, rust-red, grain gold color. The handful of foam is fleeting, leaving a beautiful, pure white veil behind. The hop varieties Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, and Mosaic are responsible for the olfactory symphony of pine-fresh breezes and sun-ripened citrus fruit. The green gold not only makes a good first impression, but also delivers a wealth of flavor: spicy pine resin, freshly baked biscuit, and juicy grapefruit create a palatable harmony. The alcohol content is skillfully integrated into the flavor profile, as are the impressive 62 bitterness units. The massive bitterness perfectly complements the interplay of flavors, but could be quite challenging for craft beer newbies.

If you like it crisp and bitter, you will love the Double Bangin Double IPA from Rye River - everyone else might prefer the slightly smoother Retro IPA !
