This year’s version of our Double IPA uses two varieties of hops known for their citrus-like flavors. Sorachi Ace, a Japanese variety that provides a lemony flavor and Citra which imparts grapefruit and orange flavors. The hops are balanced with a hearty amount of malt. It has a higher alcohol content and is served in a snifter.
