Firestone Walker

Double IPA
Specifications
Strength (ABV): 
9.5% ABV

Double Jack IPA is our first ever Imperial IPA. It features a big malty middle to cloak the high alcohol and mouth puckering hop bitterness. Huge tangerine, grapefruit and juicy fruit aroma blossom over the herbal blue basil and malt earthiness of this aggressive beer. Best enjoyed in moderation.

Best With: 
With a bold emphasis on hop bitterness, India pale ales are the ultimate beverage pairing for spicy dishes. The sharp hop presence in most India pale ales can stand up to even the most devilish of spices in Cajun, Malaysian, Japanese, Indian, and Mexican cuisine.

Nice clear golden color about an SRM of 8. nice white head of foam.

Great hoppy aroma with grapefruit notes and maybe a hint of pine.

Sweetness at first in the taste with a smooth transition to bitterness. Grapefruit notes in the hop flavor. finish still has some sweetness with a late showing of alcohol coming through.

medium bodied.

It is a really good double IPA. Nicely done!
