This week, we taste Mike's latest Jar of Destiny challenge beer; the American Double IPA. We get a little grain to glass style video here this week which accounts for the longer length format.
Mike went to some classic American hops with Centennial, Columbus and Simcoe. Looking for some of those classic American Grapefruit and Pine notes.
In this beer, there was plenty of pleasant hoppy fruit on the palate and in the nose. However, the beer really lacked some of the dankness of a true West Coast version. This recipe sort of comes in somewhere between the two coasts with its solid hop forwardness, sulfate favored water profile and 8.5% ABV.
We both really enjoyed this beer and we agree we might have been disappointed if Mike actually hit the target of more bitterness and aggressive piney notes. We mention how we'd change it if you were craving that style of beer. For us, if we crave a high ABV beer, this recipe works just fine!
CHEERS!
