Double Platinum

There is quite an impressive expression of hops throughout this beer. Huge levels of pine and resin with minor notes of tropical fruit (guava) and a hint of citrus rounds it out. This is a beer of very good clarity with a reddish-orange hue, wearing a beautiful off-white head. The malt character is on the high side, leaving a lasting impression of caramel, bread and biscuit. The bitterness is firm but clean; it does not hang around into the finish, which leaves the drinker always reaching for another taste. This beer is very well-made. The big malt finish and rich body might make it hard to have another, which is what I look for in this style. This beer would go well with dinner, especially Mexican food.
