Double (Dare) IPA
We have three great hops here today, along with some pilsner and pale malt. Nelson Sauvin - Here’s how this game works. We’re going to make a beer with you, ok? And if you need help with that beer, you can Dare Citra and Mosaic to join in the fun. If Citra and Mosaic need more depth, they give the beer back to you as a Double Dare, or you have the option for A PHYSICAL CHALLENGE.
…
PHYSICAL CHALLENGE! OK, Here’s whats gonna happen, when I say go, we’re gonna empty pilsner and pale malt into this large tun over here. Then, we’re gonna mix it up, collect some wort and dump the rest out, by spilling as little of the mash on the floor as possible. Nelson Sauvin, your job is to get added to the kettle over here. Citra and Mosaic, you’ll be over here and be added to the kettle as well. Once you're done in the kettle, all three of you need to run over to the fermenter and get in as quickly as possible. Careful, the yeast is tricky over there - you’re going to have navigate it to not get muddled in the process. After that, you’ll need to save some flavors and aroma for the final dry-hop. It might seem really hard, but you have 17 days to complete this challenge. Understand? OK, on your mark…get set…GO!

I grabbed a crowler of this last Friday evening. Drank it all Saturday evening. This thing was absolutely delicious. First look was very hazy beautiful Double IPA. The taste was fruity and light. Not too hoppy and not too sweet!! This was 32oz of amazing beer and I was very happy to enjoy it.
This is one of my favorite breweries is Seattle and hope to visit again in the near future.

On tap at Teku Tavern in Seattle, WA.
This one pours a very hazy bright orange, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like mango, grapefruit, and peach, with a slight bitterness.
This is pretty damn well done for the style- you have to expect that other breweries all over the country are going to try to emulate the NE style. It's super soft and fruity, with lots of mango/peach/grapefruit/etc. There's a very light layer of bitterness here. It's just enough to keep this from being really unbalanced.
This is creamy and pretty rich, with a good level of carbonation.
It seems like Cloudburst very much specializes in this sort of thing- from this first beer, it seems they do a solid job.
