This double dry hopped pale ale contains the same base ingredients, for both malt and hops, as Fort Point Pale Ale, but with an additional dry hop of Citra. The added hops richly enhance the juicy tropical fruit flavors of pineapple/mango, create elevated green, herbaceous aromatics, and increase body.
MALT: American 2-row Barley, White Wheat, C-15, Dextrine
HOPS: Citra, Columbus

Very potent Citra hazy IPA with all the flavors and scents that Citra can bring. Weedy, oniony, garlicy, citrusy, dank notes. There is an off putting nature to the malt bill which screams lactose, although it isn't listed in the brewing ingredients. Dextrine? Nevertheless, a milk sugar like sweetness detracts from the overall experience. Overrated IMO

Pours a beautiful dense yellow colour.
Smell is quite particular, citrus, fruit. Not something I've smelled before, but very nice. Maybe some pineapple.
Taste is exactly the same.
No bitterness, and good mouth feel for the abv. Excellent stuff.

Had the non DDH version recently, so splurged for the even more pricey DDH variant for comparison - spoiler alert - Double Dry Hopping can be beneficial!
Pours out a dense milky pale whitish golden with a finger plus of creamy white head that fades to a small covering and rim. This is a good looking hazy, though to my sensibilities I always lean to clear beer - personal preference....
Aromatics burst from the glass with huge citrus, mango and tropical notes; some cantaloupe musk and a sweaty dankness with herbal green undertones.
Taste is sweet with ripe pineapple, over ripe orange, grapefruit and a green dank and sweaty herbal flavour - moderate resinous bitterness that compliments the fruity flavours.
Solid medium mouthfeel with very decent carbonation and a bittersweetness that sits briefly at the finish.
Honestly not generally a hazy fan but this rivals Jade Dust from Pure Project as my all time favourite in the class (am I wrong - this is really an IPA, no?).

From a 16oz can dated 03/05/24
Murky, hazy, and dank looking golden pouring beer. A frothy and fluffy 2 finger white head that has great retention, and some good lacing on the glass.
The nose starts hitting as I poured the beer with a melon aroma. Lots of cantaloupe in the nose, with other tropical notes. I also get a hint of a grassy aroma.
Taste - Full on cantaloupe flavor in this beer. This flavor hits right away and lingers. I also get an earthy, and grassy flavor up front that mellows out as it goes on.
The body is off the chart smooth, full, creamy, and soft.
Damn amazing beer overall, and a pleasure to try.
