Goose Island Juicy Double IPA

Goose Island Juicy Double. "A crisp and citrusy double india pale ale brewed with orange juice." 8.3% ABV, 70 IBU. Goose Island Brewing Company,
Chicago, IL, and other places.

Clear, bright crimson/amber color, slim ivory head. Looking nice.

In the nose: Powerful citrus and pine aromatics, big time grapefruit and orange, pungent, bitter, bold.

In the mouth: Less than gentle, more than beastly. Plenty juice, and massive double. Big hops, big bitter, full of fruit. Just a little bit sweet, and a touch on the boozy side. What are we talking here? 8.3%?

You know, what?  I liked it, but I ain't going crazy over it. It's just fine.

Juicy Double is a crisp Double India Pale Ale brewed with Orange Juice for a refreshing citrus finish.  Brewed with 7 hop varieties, this Imperial India Pale Ale weighs in at 8.3% ABV with an IBU of 70.  The bold hop character is nicely balanced with the citrus from the orange juice.
