Founders Double Trouble
Pours a bright gold with orange hues. Suspended particles (hop flakes?) giving it a thick, syrupy appearance. Nice white head dissipates into a just-ok lacing. Nice malty-sweet aroma with the hops kicking around. Somewhat subdued, for the style. Grapefruit, pine make up the bulk of the flavor. A bucket-load of hops in every sip, leaving the expected dry bitter finish. Bitter, bitter, bitter. What else did you expect? Yet another DIPA on the market; gives you the hop-fix you crave. Not particularly balanced, but should it be? This is often compared to its competitor Bell's and their Hopslam, but there's no comparison in my opinion. Still, a good take on the style and worth the price of admission.
