Notes / Commercial Description:
Doubling down on malt & hops, Double Daddy raises the stakes. Double Daddy pours a fiery orange with a lasting creamy white head. Triple dry-hopped with Pacific Northwest hops, the aroma is lush and floral with notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pine, and spice. Fresh pale malts and an orange marmalade tang balance the bold, bitter hops and lean mouthfeel.

Sampled at beerfest 2016.
A very nice IPA, but it lacks a unique characteristic to make it noteworthy.
Bitter, yes. Hoppy yes. But I've had more and better bitter, and more and better hoppy in many other beers.
Very drinkable, but also-- unfortunately- quite forgettable.

Beautiful color and great taste. Strong start and bold finish. Not sure why this is rated so low for a double but it's one of my favorites.

Had cask condition at Valhalla NYC. The lower temp and lack of carbonation brought out some nice malt flavor. Great lacing on the glass
