Foothills Seeing Double IPA

Brewed by Foothills Brewing
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Winston-Salem, North Carolina USA

On tap at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Pours dark orange with a creamy white head. Aroma of pineapple, grapefruit, and fresh cut grass. Well balanced taste of pine and grapefruit with a malt sweetness. An excellent DIPA; I only wished they bottled this so that I could have it more often.

Pour from a growler. Thanks Ryan! I was stunned by this beer. It’s almost close to a barleywine with such big, strong malt flavors and sweetness. The hops are huge too. Seems like all the big American hops are showing up for the party. Big, but balanced and surprisingly drinkable. Sticky on the finish, but still manages to be clean. The breadiness, sweetness and nuttiness combined with the hops of this beer are pretty incredible. The best offering of the three Foothills brews I’ve had. The hype is true: A great brewery and a great beer!

on tap at Tylers Taproom in Durham, NC on 3/21/09. massive hop bomb.... dark golden color with average white head... pleasant citrus hops on the nose... big body loaded with hops ranging from citrus to pine. Seeing Double IPA is a full force IIPA that isn’t afraid to throw the hops at you, however, it is not too overwhelming and is quite balanced considering.

Big thanks to TurdFerguson for a growler of this. The pour was turbid rust color with 2-finger, creamy white head. Aroma of big piney hops, bready caramel malt, some mango, black pepper, tangerine. The taste was very hoppy, with a hefty caramel malt base, some black pepper notes, mango, tangerine, honeydew. This one is on the chewy side, with a very hefty palate, a lot of hops, caramel malt, and fruit. It gets even fruitier, hoppier, and denser as it warms, almost acquiring a low level barleywiney profile. This is an outstanding beer.

Growler from BleacherBum. Dark amber/orange color. Small head with excellenct hoppy aroma. Sweet and thick with smooth earthy hop flavor. This is a very thich and chewy IIPA. Some alcohol, but that never hurt anybody. THIS IS ONE BIG BEER.

Pours an orange-gold flavor with a frothy off white head. Floral citrus aroma. Full body, hoppy, malty flavor with a hint of sweetness. One of my favorite IPAs

A huge IPA with a solid malty backbone, redolent with piny resin-ridden hops. Highly drinkable for a 9.5 percenter with a long mouth coating earthy hop finish. Clear light brown with a rocky off-white head, this brew leaves ample lacing and is a treat for the eyes and tongue.

On draught at WBF in Raleigh. Nice lacy head, golden-copper color with a slight haze. Aroma is very attractive--hoppy and citrus with a good bit of malt as well. Flavor is similar, very smooth, with a slight alcohol burn. Very good, and the best beer at the WBF I went to.
