Brewery: Double Mountain Brewing – Hood River, OR
Brewery IG: @doublemountain
———————————–
Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: A straight up easy drinking West Coast IPA. Good amount of hop bitterness as expected which is very tasty. I get some pineyness and slight malt in there which is good with me. Solid beer.
Bottle art: Great! The name, great art and artist (Mark Nilsson) and awesome that a portion of the proceeds go to a great organization, Basic Rights Oregon.
Drinkage: There is a date on the bottle but it’s not legible. It’s fresh and directly from Double Mountain so not much more than a few days after it was bottled. ———————————–
