Double Dose!!

I'll be "that guy" to say DD isn't worth it at $4-5 per bottle over the years. Drink something else.

 

I didn't think it was good last year as the year before, but I have no idea if that was my palate changing or the beer. That said 17-18 dollars for a four pack isn't crazy to me, my problem is a store local to me gets it and puts it out at 10 dollars a bottle...

 

In addition to the price, the fact that I have other highly touted IPAs in my fridge, including Sip, makes it hard for me to go out of my way to seek this out. I mean if I find myself at a bottle shop, I'm going to look for it, but I'm not going to go to a bottle shop with the sole purpose of finding Double Dose.

 

(slow clap for having Sip and "highly touted IPAs" in your fridge, I guess?)

You can't buy Sip in MA so that's a bad comparison. I've had many Lawsons beers and have access to Trillium whenever I want it. DD is still a good beer. Has that Lawsons buttery smoothness.

You'll pay $8 for 25oz of Fort Point, or $12 for DDH fort point but not $8 for 24 oz of DD? That's fine but again, a silly comparison. It's all, just, like people's opinions, man.

 

I bought the last four pack. Guy said they only got one case. $16 per.

And it seems near 100% of those people are still hunting it down the next year.

 

I mind the price but I may buy some more just to spite all you people. May even pour one down the drain.

 

LOL - My intention wasn't to try and shit on yours or anyone else's cereal. Like I said, I want to try Double Dose, but not to the extent where I'm chasing it. The chase is more of an issue than the price, but the price doesn't help.

 

sweeter than i like - and I don't mean fruity - more malty or carmel. My next beer is a Second Fiddle - and Double Dose as a set up will make the Fiddle even better.

I think the DD is a slightly boozy as well

 

A bit boozy and much more bitter than it needs to be, IMO. Just kills the initial juiciness. Batch 1>Batch 2>Batch 3

 

Did in fact find 2 bottles near home @ $4.20 each. This is limited enough that I chalk it up to getting an $8 bomber but at least have 2 separate servings...

 

Ball square got it tonight. Disagree with the meh reaction here for sure.

 

It is different than the first 2 years. Of place it closer to backseat berner than the first years. I still think it's better than last year. 1>3>2

 

It get to cape cod yet?

 

gonna go double dose hunting today. seems like one bottle limits are the deal (redstone & shawsheen in andover).

 

They no longer have "plenty" they have zero as of yesterday

 

Just to shit on this beer some more, I had this back to back with a Treehouse Alter Ego and it was not even in the same league. Don't feel bad if you missed it.

 

Cool, show me the beer store down the street from me that sells Alter Ego. K Thx.

 

I enjoyed the Double Dose I got my hands on. I have to say it lived up to the hype for me. I didn't do any back to back comparisons but I would put it a step above any "regular" IPA/IIPA I have found in stores as of late. I don't think it is fair to compare this to the TH/Trillium stuff, they are on another level.
Glad I got to try it and will seek it out next year if they do it again.
