I had this beer while in Jupiter and was actually somewhat dissapointed. Jupiter's IPA was one of the best that I've had and I expected the Double to satisfy my hop-head urges. It came out a very dark amber with a small thick head that qquickly went away. The thickness of the beer could be seen by looking at the density layers as they settled in glass. The beer smelled very hop-rific with a little bit of a roasted smell. Drinking this beer, though, is where things went wrong. The beer entirely coated my mouth in a way no dbl. IPA has before and the hop explosion was a little bit overwhelming. This beer reminds me of the Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA, so if you like that sort of a thing, I'd still recommend this one. The beer became very hard to drink after a few sips and took me quite a while to finish. It just didn't seem to have the depth of taste that their IPA has and seemed, at least to me, that this beer was all hops.
