LongShot Double IPA
Bottle shared by daryk77 - thanks! Pours a bright copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing. Smells of citrus and pine hops with good amounts of sweet caramel malts. Tastes similar to how it smells. Smooth caramel malt flavors up front are quickly joined by solid citrus flavors - mostly grapefruit - with hints of earthy pine. As it warms it gets slightly boozy but the alcohol is hidden pretty well. Ending is moderately bitter. Mouthfeel is good. It has a solid thickness with grainy carbonation. Drinkability is good. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass and could have another. Overall this was a solid IPA and one I'd like to try again. Nice job by McDole.
