Speakeasy Double Daddy IPA

Brewed by Speakeasy Ales and Lagers
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
San Francisco, California USA

The Greatest American Double Beer ever put forth. Aroma very floral , Appearance , standard bronze body , Flavor is killer. Its a shame that Stone’s IPA is rated higher , it has nothing on this gem

Pow! This beer uses your nose as a punching bag; it is screaming with hops. It pours a brilliant orange color with a small lacing white head and a few small bubbles coming to the surface. Lots of citusy hops in the nose. Flavor is all sweet malt up front with a citrus/wood hop flavor after awhile. Backend bitterness is tame but present. This beer reminds me of a 3F product.

One of "THE" best IPA’s that i’ve had in a long time. I normally get burned out on an ipa that i like, the taste is usually hit/miss. But not this! It’s hard to come by and available only in 4 packs. If you come upon it, buy it!

This is an excellent IPA. I love hops so I still say it could use more but I really like the fruity flavor. I drank this at the Great Water Pub and Thai Restaurant in San Fran and it was a perfect bittery match to my spicy Thai.

Draft at the Drafting Room, Exton. As a hophead, I found this one to be extraordinary. The pour was hazy dark straw colored with a uniform 2-finger white head that looked like a blanket of new-fallen snow. Huge piney hop aroma, coupled with some floral esters and black pepper notes. The flavor was very piney hoppy with an array of floral esters arriving at mid-palate. The mouthfeel was extremely velvety, creamy, and lively. Well balanced and delicious. Based upon the low bottle ratings, I wonder if the formulation for this has changed, or whether the keg at the Drafting Room was nitrogenated? At any rate, I found it to be outstanding.

This bottle has been in the cellar for quite some time 2 years im guessing...slightly cloudy copper body with a skimming of a beige head...pungent malt aromas with grapefruit and orange...it smells wonderful...I even get a tinge of caramel in the whiff...flavor is similar to aroma with an added sweetness...grapefruit finish...its just right palate wise...speckled dotted lacing...a little watery in the near finish, but the aging may have affected it

Loved this beer. From Sick Boy 282, thanks Alex. Really complex, and offers a lot more than others in this style. So many double ipa’s taste the same (which is great), but this one distinguishes itself from the crowd. Smooth as hell, citrussy fruity aroma, white head that disapates quickly...Tastes of a lot of different kinds of malt, grains, with some serious hop bitterness in the finish. Great flavor.

God I love this beer. Pours a lovely copper-gold with a small short-lived head and nice lacing throughout. Aroma is delicious - sweet and hoppy, fresh and inviting. Tastes exceptionally good; solid moderately sweet malting gives way to a fresh hop and fusel finish - reminds me of the line "like a brick wrapped in velvet". Great creamy body & excellent snappy carbonation. What a great, great beer. Sweet enough to be sessionable, bitter enough to mask a bit (not a lot) of the alcohol so that you fool yourself into thinking that you know exactly what you’re getting yourself into.

I could drink this beer until the very end of time, until God himself stood waiting with a mop, looking expectantly at his watch as I, lone patron of his earthly establishment, languished in the perpetual penultimate sip. Hats off to Speakeasy!
