Named for the spectacular and complete double rainbow that appeared in the northwest sky just outside the brewhouse during the inaugural mash in. With a foot in both the new and old worlds, this IPA is generously dry-hopped with English Fuggles, resulting in a strong, deep golden, very fresh, and fruity English flavor and aroma.

Taster at Elk Creek. Golden pour, cloudy, skimpy white head. Mild hoppy aroma, grassy. Taste is malty, grainy sweet with a touch of bittering hops. Dry finish.

Medium gold pour with minimal head. Little bit of floral hops on the nose along with dry tea biscuit & caramel malt. It certainly is more restrained than most American IPAs, and the English style is more in-line with my own preferences. Hops add a nice touch but don't overwhelm, toffee & biscuit from the malt bill smooths it out, dry finish.
