Cape May Brewing Company’s White Caps Double IPA was judged against the BJCP category 22A (Double IPA).  This fresh, fruit forward Double IPA bursts with melon, mango and resin-like, piney hop aromas and flavors, on a clean, slightly sweet malt base. It is light straw colored, mildly hazy, very effervescent, and pours with a creamy, white head. At 7.5% abv it is lower in alcohol than many double IPAs, yet its’ bright flavor, medium body and creamy texture deliver a full flavor experience and make it the perfect quaffable choice.
