Multi-Grain Double IPA
Russell Brewing Company

Moderately hazy bright golden orange with short lived off white head.
Tropical aroma - dank, over ripe orange, touch of mango.
Caramel malt sweetness followed by taste of pungent orange, mango, with piney bitterness.
Medium full, nicely carbonated, bitterness lingers nicely without being overpowering. Really enjoyed this.

355ml can - a collaboration with Doan's Craft Brewing. If they would have made the label marketing blurb a bit easier to read, I would lay out the ingredients for you, but they didn't.

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky, and chunky ecru head, which leaves some sudsy splattered lace around the glass as it evenly sinks out of sight.

It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, mixed-grain breakfast cereal, orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, further pineapple-forward tropical fruity notes, a stoney flintiness, and some earthy, musty, and piney green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, buttery crackers, a muddled exotic fruitiness, some damp minerality, and more leafy, weedy, and resinous piney verdant hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-teasing frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess essentially there from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the various blended malts pretty much holding the lingering reins.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasant enough version of the style, one which definitely favours the malt side of the equation. No biggie, as the near 18-proof wowee sauce quotient is perfectly integrated, rendering a gentle sipper for yet another frigid February day.
