Love Handles Double IPA (DIPA) is a New England style IPA (NEIPA) with distinct mango on the nose and a body that is round and sumptuous. This voluptuous DIPA was double dry-hopped (DDH) with 8lbs/BBL of Equinox and El Dorado hops. We used floor malted Maris Otter (MO) to support the overflowing hop additions and 18% oats to create that juicy, creamy mouthfeel (CMF). So loosen that belt, embrace the love handles (LH), grab a hold and enjoy the ride of our first canned beer (CB). But don't shake it because it won't be pretty.

Acquired on a trip to RI. Glad to see this Double IPA in a 16 oz. can. Description of the product on the label side seems quite accurate to me. Very enjoyable and I'll definitely purchase again when in RI.

16 oz. can served in my Spiegelau IPA glass. Pours a lovely honey hue with a slight haze to the clarity and a loose head that quickly dissipates. Malty notes on the nose as well as clover honey and just the merest hint of tropical fruit. Taste consistent with nose with the addition of piney/earthy notes that dominate the flavor profile. Mouthfeel is light-medium in body with a mild, even carbonation and a slight oiliness to the texture. Overall, a decent first attempt at a DIPA. Definitely representative of the East Coast style.
