Rating: 4/5

Brewery: Double Mountain Brewing – Hood River, OR

———————————–
Rating: 4/5
Notes: There’s too many April fool’s jokes today to add to the masses so I’m keeping it real today….
Certainly a West Coast IPA even though the pic seems a bit hazy. It’s bright with lime and grapefruit flavors. Can’t believe this is the first Double Mountain beer I’ve reviewed as I’ve drank hundreds of their beers. Cheers to many more.
Bottle art: Cool retro and throwback look.
Drinkage: 14 days after date on bottle
