Dan cracks open a can care of Dad On Tap…Lagunitas The Beast of Both Worlds, a Double IPA double dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic.
Lagunitas Brewing Company The Beast of Both Worlds
STYLE: Double IPA
INGREDIENTS: Double dry-hopped with Citra, Mosaic, Strata, and Sabro
ABV: 8.0%
IBU: 40
AVAILABILITY: 12 oz. cans/bottles/Draft (Limited)
Stats above taken from the brewery’s can and website.
Appearance
Golden and clear with a small, white head.
Aroma
Mixture of pine, resin, citrus, and mango.
Taste
Well-balanced with a tit-for-tat between the malt and hops, with some highlights from the aroma notes.
Mouthfeel
Fairly dry with an appropriate weight/mouthfeel for the style.
Overall
Pairing-wise, I was feeling everything from a fried chicken sandwich to pub fare like wings. Pretty approachable for a Double IPA, but I would be careful about having too many in a session for sure at 8%.
Cheers and remember:
Life’s a tap…drink up ’til it’s dry.
All music on this show came to us from the now defunct Music Alley.
