Spiral Brewery Double Downward Double India Pale Ale

Spiral Brewery Double Downward Double India Pale Ale.

9.5 % ABV. Spiral Brewery, Hastings, MN. 


Clear, crimson-colored, creamy-toned, off-white head. 

In the nose: Big fruit, high hops, buzzing with citrus and pine. Particularly pungent. 

In the mouth: Big bite of hoppiness from the start, with rising alcohol feels almost instantly. Juicy, tangy, with a healthy buzz. Juicy malt, abundant hop bitterness, and a non-stop stream of wild and wooly booziness. Not that I mind that, quite to the contrary. I need it to get through this presidential debate. 

Quite tasty. This has all the goods, in all the right places. Well done. 

When you’re already in a downward spiral why not double down?!
