Our Tastes-- Firestone Walker Double Jack


Offered up by Junk via bootleg, I had to try this one. Double Jack is a special offering that when poured up is striking. This is by far the clearest IPA or Double IPA I've ever sampled. I can say that the color is a true dark straw that script can be read through on the other side of the pint glass. I've never seen an IPA this way. Head is white foam that quickly dissipates. Nose is of soft yet assertive hops with slight cereal notes but overwhelming florals. Taste runs bitterness across the tongue like a sprint. The spread page gives the techs better than I can type it. 9.5%abv, IBUs 100 but color is an 8, that validates me!
