Mar 29, 2009 Draft at the brewery. This was by far the best beer I had on my recent trip to the Bay area. 5 brewery’s in 3 days, not bad!
This has that wonderful citrus aroma and flavor that reminds me of hopsickle. Great texture and an all around killer DIPA.

Mar 16, 2007 On draft@ 21st. Amazingly good looking beer, nice copper/orange color with just the right amount of white/copper-laced head. The aroma is out of this world, well balanced hops, a beautiful sweet fragrance and citrus overtones. Hops are the star and it’s absolutely fabulous. Too bad it’s limited availability. Awesome brew. Dont miss it if you visit San Fran.

Sep 21, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. I really like 21A’s regular IPAs and was excited to finally see Double Trouble on the board during my recent visit. Orange with a sticky off-white head. The aroma is just a blast of sticky, fruity hops emphasizing floral, grapefruit, and peach qualities. At first sip, DT shows you no mercy. I enjoy plenty of DIPAs out here in California, but this was one of the strongest hop kicks that I have ever had. Despite this, the flavor manages to be relatively balanced with a subtle, but firm malt character. Sweet and almost syrupy, but with so much hop oil and acid that the beer only leaves a brutal bitterness in the aftertaste. The hop flavor retains the juicy citrus of the aroma and carries it all the way through the finish. More along the bigger, burlier IIPAs with a lot of body and malt, but also one of the hoppiest beers that I have ever experienced. A true work of hop-art in liquid form.

Dec 20, 2007 Sample at GABF 2007. Pours a dark golden yellow with a big beige head that concretes to the crappy plastic taster cup. Superb pineapple and grapefruit aromas. Pine, spruce, apricot and intense bitterness to the flavor. Very nice beer.
