Lightning struck twice here at Mystic Brewery. The result? Double Voltage. This double IPA version of our beloved Voltage is surging with Citra lupulin powder, Santiam, Ella, and Perle hops.

From a 16oz can, dated 11/23/18. Served in an IPA glass.
Pours a cloudy, murky glass of OJ with a couple of fingers of off-white, lathery suds. Retention is good, leaving a creamy cap and some swooshes of lacing.
Nose is sharp and yeasty, straight-up take-n-bake soft white dinner rolls.
Taste is an unusual melange of pineapple juice, pine bark and sour grain - I can't work out how better to describe it than that. A little peppery spice, simultaneously both juicy and grainy, with vanishingly low bitterness.
Feel is thinly juicy, medium bodied and just barely well-enough carbonated.
Overall, well, my first sip made me make a face. I think I'm tasting noble hops? mixed in with citra or something which is a little weird and off-putting to me. Not awful, and I fully expect to finish the four-pack, but I probably won't revisit this one.

4-pack purchased for $16.99 in Burlington, VT. This is a very good NEIPA. Appearance is cloudy bright orange with a tall frothy head that dissipates fairly slowly leaving almost no lace. Typical fruity hop aromas in spades - very nice smell. Taste is good, follows nose, but has a little astringency that I find in some NEIPAs. Feel is medium-full body with some hop residue apparent when you swallow. Overall, I liked it and would probably buy more, but it is a little pricey.
