Founders Double Trouble
A: Pretty clear, with ever the slightest hazy gold-orange color with about a one finger head that retained itself nicely for the duration of the session. S: I could literally smell the strong scent of grapefruit, orange, and pineapple from several feet away! This one definitely has a bit of West Coast flair to it. T: Fruity, piney, and juicy, but with a good bit of booze that I didn't notice quite as much after a few sips. A bitter, dry finish indeed. The taste was just flat out missing something... hmmm... perhaps another non-citrus fruit to give it some depth (eg. peach [ie. Sculpin])? M: The bitterness lingered, which started to grate on me after a few sips. The carbonation was low, which was appropriate given the octane and thickness of the brew. O: I've got to ding this one a bit for its in-your-face booziness. However, I will try this one again next season... as I do every year.
