Double IPA
Specifications
Strength (ABV): 
8.7% ABV

G'Knight (formerly Gordon) is a hybrid version of strong ale, somewhere between an Imperial Red and a Double IPA. We make it with six different malts and three types of hops, then dry-hop it with a mutha lode of Amarillo hops. It features a gooey, resiny aroma and a luscious mouth feel. G'Knight is brewed with dash of chocolate malt in it, to round out its load of hops and balance the beer. The result is an assertive yet exceptionally smooth version of strong beer.

Best With: 
A general rule of thumb with this beer is 'the spicier the better.' The impressive hop bitterness in this beer can stand up to just about any degree of spiciness in dry rubbed ribs, Cajun cuisine, curry based Indian food, or wasabi spiced Japanese fare.

Med amber, w frothy lingering head. interestng aroma for a double ipa, getting a mango-banana vibe. sweet citrus flavor evolves to faint ipa bitter finish, very smooth feel for relatively high abv of 8.7%. good choice for the lake given the can is the vessel.
