Left Hand Found Fortune Dry-Hopped Double IPA

Left Hand Found Fortune Dry-hopped Double IPA.


8.7% ABV, 55 IBU. Left Hand Brewing, Longmont, CO. 

Getting down to the last can of a six-pack I bought back in April. I keep chipping away until all the old stuff is out of the fridge, and we can get to the fresh. 

Completely and utterly hazy, bright golden hue, short white head. 

In the nose: Big hop aromatics. Citrus and pine. Sufficiently dank. 

In the mouth: Nice bitter hop bite up front, accompanied by a bit of juicy stone fruit & citrus. It's fierce one, just the way I like it. Considerably hoppy, bitter, dank and dry. Medium bodied, long finish. This is definitely one to contend with. Grapefruit, orange candied apricot, and loads of lemon are on display on the palate, with that non-stop bitter blitz. And I can dig it. 

Deep in Eldorado Canyon, amidst the soaring sandstone cliffs, our brewers were inspired to create a beer as majestic as the panoramic vistas before them. With hop aromatics as towering as the rock formations, Found Fortune is a hidden trail to hop treasure. Dry-hopped with El Dorado, Galaxy and Citra, this Double IPA boasts a wealth of candied orange, juicy tropical fruits, and fresh-squeezed grapefruit. Take a journey through its haze and find a fortune in every glass.
