This double dry hopped pale ale showcases the Citra hop for a well balanced beer that is delicate in body with a mild bitterness in the finish. Ferocious aromas of citrus and mango give a refreshing taste that is bright with just enough bite!

PKG 02/19/2025. Poured into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint.

Beer #3000!!!

A: Murky, opaque bright gold with 2-finger frothy white head with good retention and multiple bands of lacing.

S: Aromas in the DDH version are about double, having just had garden variety reasonably fresh Pseudo Sue last weekend. Heavy mango, pineapple, melon, passion fruit, and tangerine with medium dank, herbal hop undercurrent.

T: Flavor also brings more intensity than base model with more melon, pineapple, lime, tangerine, and guava. Honeysuckle and herbal floral notes also there. Esters light and fruity. Bitterness is moderate.

M: Slightly gritty which isn’t bad but just not my favorite quality. Light-medium body and dry finish.

O: An incredible upgrade to an outstanding iconic pale ale - Toppling Goliath finds more intensity and blasts away with a Citra cannon on the DDH version. Highly recommended.

Very hazy/cloudy orange gold color with a respectable and lasting white head and some nice lacing.
The aroma is grapefruit mango and pineapple.
The taste is luscious grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, passion fruit, lime and honeydew melon, slightly sweet, definitely tart. The finish is citrus zest with pine and grass, moderate bitterness.
The body is medium, plenty of carbonation, very drinkable. Altogether, this is a very tasty and refreshing brew, definitely for the hop lover but still nicely balanced, this could be nice for a day at the beach, but I would gladly drink it anytime for any reason, the best so far of Pseudo Sue versions, superb.

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a Tulip Glass, "PKG 03/29/24".

APPEARANCE: pours a dense, cloudy, golden color with one-finger, off-white head that slowly dissipated until a thin, broken layer of small bubbles remained, medium carbonation, there is some lacing on the glass, in a word beautiful!

SMELL: pleasantly understated, notes of sweet pineapple citrus and mango then bread.

TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet pineapple and mango then bread and finishes with a very pleasant dank taste.

PALATE: medium body and carbonation, somewhat creamy.

OVERALL: this is a spectacular Pale Ale, I will buy this again for sure and will tell all my friends about it, I recommend to anyone who likes craft beer, Toppling Goliath is one of the best brewers there is, right there with Sierra Nevada, can't wait to try more beers from them.
