Commercial Description:
"White Knuckle Ale" is a Double India Pale Ale. That's right, twice the malt and twice the hops in one 14 barrel batch. It is named in honor of the exciting bike trail on Mt. Tam. If you are a "hophead", this one's for you; fat, chewy, resiny and pungent! Pour into a wide-mouthed glass and get ready to rip!

Bottle brought back from the Bay Area. Poured a slightly murky, nice caramelly orange, amber with an off white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, resin and chewy caramel. Slightly sweet and packing a punch. About as balanced as it could be with some chewy caramel. Citrus, grapefruit and fruit. Resin. Slightly oily mouthfeel. Not quite a 4 for me.

I have been wanting to try this one for years and it did not disappoint. A deep copper body with some bronze. A dense yellow khaki head on top. The aroma was strong grapefruit with some tropical mango. There was also bread crust. The taste was sweet grapefruit and burnt bread crust. There was also a little bit of peanuts. Awesome.

Bomber courtesy of Iowaherkeye. Pours a clear medium amber with a 2 finger creamy white head and splotchy lacing. Nose is orange peel, grapefruit and pine. Taste is caramel and sweet ripe citrus upfront with bitter yellow grapefruit finish. Medium creamy sticky mouth feel. Nice DIPA. Thanks Joey!

22oz from IowaHerkeye (thanks Joey). Wow, this is good. Greant hop nose that really follows through. Nice body to hold up to the hops, pine and grapefuit mix. Nice blend (reminds me of Summit hops). Really like this beer, a must get for the IPA fans.
