Commercial Description:
Double Haul IPA is our most popular taproom ale. And the folks at NABA agreed, awarding it a gold medal at the 2008 brewfest. Brewed with lots of hops and packing a 6.5% alcohol punch, Double Haul IPA is a beer lover’s dream. After a couple of Double Hauls you’ll feel like you’re out with your buddies and it’s FISH ON! for both of you. Cascade bittering hops, Cascade flavoring hops, and Cascade finishing hops-a veritable cascade of hoppiness! Brewed with love and now available in 16 oz aluminum cans. 6.6 % abv; 65 IBUs but who’s counting!

Can from kyzr. Aroma is earthy. Lots of pine and leafy herbal bitterness I really like the aroma. Pours copper with a thin white head and some decent lacing. Flavor is initially very bitter hops with pine and grapefruit, but as it warms more of the malt characteristics come through with some caramel sweetness balancing the bitterness to creat a pleasant fruity flavor. The finish is pretty bitter with lingering dryness. Another solid offering from this brewery.

Can from kyzr, thanks! Pours a copper/orange color with good sized off white head. Lively carbonation with light bitter hop aroma. Light fruitiness taste but mainly bitter hops. Good body with massive lacing. Harsh bitter finish.

Tasted 9/2/07. Pint can. Hazy with a ruby hue. Ring of white head. Doughy malts and sugary hops in the nose. Sweet malts and bitter resinous grapefruity hops. Mildly sticky with a nice bitterness. Decent attempt.

Clear amber in color with some carbonation and a tight, white head. Some citric hops rise above the foam with bit of sweetness from the malt. An interesting array of flavors. The citric grapefruit kind of bounces around the sweet, toffee-amber and leaves a sweet and resinous swallow. Fairly creamy. My first sip of this I didn’t love, but this brew grew on me andmust be a nice option out among the mountains. Thanks Toby!

Thanks for the bonus can from Kyzr! 1 finger head that slowly dies to a thick microbubble head. Very nice head. Clear deep amber color. Soft citrus hop nose, as if aged, but I think it’s fresh. Bitterness of grapefruit hops hits the tongue immediately. Thick body. Meidum sweetness. Not super palatable, which I think has something to do with the hop profile, but I’m not sure why.

Can: Copper colored, huge frothy off-white head, fairly nice lacing.   Soft malt nose, some citrus, a little husky.   Husky malt flavor with soft citrus rind notes.   Hop profile is minor to moderate.   Comes across to me as a Pale Ale.   Very minor astringent citrus peel and grain husks on the backside.   Decent, but perhaps with the grainy malts and citrus bitterness, it feels like a quasi Amber Pale Ale.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Finishes a little flat.   Tiz okay, certainly average.   About what I expected I guess.

Thanks to Skyview for sharing. Pours a nice light golden amber. Nice light floral and citrus hoppiness on the nose. Kinda funky, and possibly off, with over the top citrus, and little balance to the hops.

Received 16-oz via trade with kyzer and shared with Minnesota gang. Pours a semi-hazy orange amber brew with a light off-white head and a good lacing. Aroma of orange peel, light caramel malt and some earthy spice. Taste is light carbonation, medium bodied with a citrus and caramel malt flavor. Finish is a subdued hop bitterness and a slight sweet malt aftertaste. Canned IPA works for me.
