Bullé is a French term meaning “with Bubbles inside”, and this Double Bubble comes with a franco-twist, using the same Mosaic® Cryo Hops® found in Bubble Stash, along with a blend of French hops and malts. The result is a peachy apricot blast of bubbly coolness. Oui Oui!

Remember the bottle, but don't remember the beer. I gave it a really good rating for some reason. Must be flavor and drinkability. 63 IBUs

Picked up as part of a Hop Mixer 12 pack from TW Arrowhead on 3-17-20 for $1.17 per bottle. Best by Jul 04 2020. Cold stored since purchase.
Beer poured golden orange with a near perfect white head that has great contention.
Nose is some stone fruit with a touch of citrus. Pungent, but not hugely so.
Taste is peach forward with a blending of oranges over a good sized pale malt base. Finishes with some sugar and lacks a balancing hop; 3/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and fairly smooth.
Overall not a bad beer but one i would not seek out in the future.

I pick this up at my local mini mart about 4 blocks from my house at least once a week.
$4.49
Comes in a 22 oz bomber bottle.
Pours a golden orange color, I tip my glass not to get any head on the beer as I pour it.
Smells like fruit almost a grapefruit aroma I wanna say.
Taste is definitely fruit here with some malt coming in at the end. I'd say tropical fruit here is the taste, mango or something of that sort. It goes down like a light beer it isnt bitter at all. If you were the kind of person who didnt like ipa's you could drink this one.
The mouth feel is a light to medium body and very crisp finish. A great offering from hop valley overall. I'm surprised this beer isnt more popular.

Part of an Imperial IPA mixed pack picked up at Fred Meyer in Bothell, Washington.
BBD is APR 05 2020. Served in a Sam Smith pint glass.
Look- Clear bright golden amber color. Sizeable bone white colored head that slowly recedes to a thin cap, fairly heavy lacing. moderate carbonation streams visible.
Smell- Tropical fruit (mango, passion fruit and papaya), citrus (grapefruit, orange/tangerine and pithy lemon/lime), stone fruit, honey/caramel malt, a little light berry and herbal/grassy notes.
Taste- Much like the nose but the peach/nectarine and malt really jump out at me. Really fruity overall.
Feel- Medium bodied with a dry, crisp, lightly bitter finish. Ample carbonation on the tongue.
O- Another solid offering from Hop Valley, I'm finding out that I like their DIPAS more than the regular IPAs over time.

Nice clear color, clear white head. Malty, too sweet for me. A lot of fruitovertone but nothing dominate. My bottle sai ABV 8.3, which zi consider to high for an IPA.

Big, complex flavor on first sip mellowed with each subsequent one. Alcoholly, but in a good way, definitely not overpowering, more of an afterburn on the back of the lips and tip of the tongue. Only a tad sticky on the lips at about 3/4 through this bomber bottle poured in a standard pint glass. Great mouthfeel. Over all, very well made. Flavor is a bit too big to be what I would deem an outstanding Imperial IPA. There's a lot going on here. It is a decent one though, and worth trying if you like the style.

This is supposed to be brewed with cryo Mosaic hops and French yeast. The taste is seriously peach, apricot, and tangerine. It's another juicy fruit brew but not bad, actually. Sweet and moderately malty. The sugar comes through into the aftertaste, and that's not so bad either.
Color is a clear, rich amber yellow. Fine-grained white foam in the Maredsous goblet. This gets rather acidic after some sipping. It's OK to sip for awhile, and the orange peel taste is pleasant for half a glass. From the 22 oz bottle. You can find this at Fred Meyer supermarkets.

22 oz. bomber purchased from Fred Meyer in N.Salem
$3.99
Pours the traditional dark orange with a nice thick and creamy off white head.
Aromas of floral,pine and a wee bit of resinous hps. Strong caramel malt base
Taste well balanced with both strong chewy maltiness and hop bite.
Nice over meium mouth feel to begin with , but at the end it dies out and there is a bit of hot alcohol showing.
More of a balanced IIPA..not top tier but reasonable
