Hops hops hops - did we mention this beer was hoppy? This Hop Head Double IPA (India Pale Ale) mixes citrusy American hops with a screaming alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage and a malt profile that’s twice the normal IPA. A fairly recent (in beer history) American invention, Double IPA is also one of the most popular craft beer styles. Lots of hops means lots of hoppy delicious flavor, with a lean crisp taste that is sure to please every hops lover. A truly great American achievement.

An IPA-lover's dream!What a fantastic beer this is. Malty and fruity as an IPA should be yet well-balanced. I come back to this kit every year when I want to impress my friends.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

woohooI would describe this taste as a peach that slammed into a piece of butterscotch candy. Very tasty and, wow, what a kick! Shamefully, I kept this to myself next time I brew this I'll share.....maybe.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Awesome!I thought we ran too much sparge water out to the wort, so we boiled it longer to lose some volume. Ended up with 6 gallons in the primary, and we thought it might be a little weak. Primary 8 days. Transferred to two 3 gallon glass carboys for 10 days with dry hop. By the time we lost some volume between the transfer, and removing the leaf hops we had just shy of 5.5 gallons to bottle and it tastes perfect. 7.5% ABV. I compared it to a cask ale I had one time at Northpeak brewery in Traverse City, Michigan. I told Hubbs not to bottle this stuff and lets drink it the way it is! Wishing we would have tried this months ago.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

This is for you, if you like Hoppy beerI enjoy a hoppy beer, but most of the commercial options are overly pungent which takes away from the flavor. Not this recipe, it offers a real nice hoppy taste and aroma, but is still smooth to go down. You will not be disappointed.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

I can't feel my face...This was my first foray into all-grain, and I screwed it up pretty well. Still...this stuff is good! I added some extra grain based on some poorly vetted bad advice & wound up w/a crazy high SG & and ABV of around 10%. Even with all that alcohol this is a tasty treat. I plan on giving it another go.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

perfectThis is a REALLY good IPA for hop heads. I ended up splitting up the batch after a secondary and aged half on some medium roasted french oak. I would also recommend using the dry hops from the secondary as bittering for another batch of beer to save some money. The specialty yeast is perfect for pitching into another beer to and well worth the extra couple of bucks.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)
