From the Bay: A new way to double IPA. Juicy tropical hops are amped up and balanced by our house Kolsch yeast, leaving the beer intense yet drinkable. Mango and bright mandarin are supported by floral melon and soft stone fruits. From the techies to the foodies, for the freaks and for the geeks - Here's to the Bay ...and double IPA.

This pours a slightly hazy straw caramel color. Tropical notes with hints of pineapple and a bitter finish. Some residual sweetness. Can’t say it came together for me, though.

Bottle from Safeway. Light to medium golden with small frothy head. Aroma is resinous pine. Taste is also hop forward, leading with the piney hops, bready malts underneath. Oily feel, kind of sticky. Nice medium weight. A nod back to the old school.

Pour on a pint glass, golden with some sediments.
Floral hoppy and piney nose with caramel toffee.
Pineapple, mango and sticky toffee on palate.
Overall, a very robust double IPA. Enjoyable on its own or with bbq/rich spicy food.
