    Ridiculously good. Got a shipment from Cali-Pliny, Dorado, Simtra, Denogginizer, Double DBA, Femme Fatale Brett, and Whiteout. I'm just shaking my head after Double Jack. Pliny-Hopslam good mofo. Put a Dogfish next to the Cali collection and amazing how malty it was compared to the California brews.

    Agreed on the Double Jack. Doesn't get the hype it deserves, IMO.

    I'm excited to try their Double DBA too. I have one more Double Jack left. I wish I hadn't hit the Plinys right away so I could put them next to each other. I honestly think Double Jack could give Pliny and Hopslam a scare. I put those in my three that for me personally come as close to perfect as a beer experience can offer.

    On a side note, what I really dig about California IPAs is the medium body and man we go on about citrus in our IPAs, but their citrus is so different. I read a review on Pliny that nailed it perfectly contrasting what we produce, RIPE citrus, and when I licked my lips after a swig of Double Jack I could taste sweet orange/tangerine. I'm so in love.

    Agreed - Double Jack is amazing, especially on tap...
