Aloha BrewTube:

In this episode of DJs BrewTube, I will review a beer that my buddy Brad (AKA Pooka NC) of WIld Boys Brewery sent to me in a beer trade.  You may recall that in this trade I received a ton of top notch brews.  So next up in the review docket is Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA.  Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA is the first  first high gravity beer that may have you Seeing Double. The hops are balanced with just enough body to craft a highly drinkable brew. Foot hills says to expect a full body and a hint of citrus from the seven varieties of hops added to the brew that clocks in at 9.5% ABV and 126 IBUs.  This all sounds really tasty, so lets see what flavors this beer style with a twist actually delivers.  Enjoy the show!  Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA Written review follows:

Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA WRITTEN REVIEW:

A: Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA pours a hazy, deep, bright golden orange in color with a two finger off-white head of super tight bubbles that slowly dissipates to a very thin film and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed and alcohol legs abound.

S: Strong aromas of dank pine,citrus, grapefruit and orange rounded off by sweek caramel and malt aromas.

T: Upfront there is a moderate amount of caramel malt sweetness with big flavors of citrus/grapefruit/orange and pine hops. Moderate amounts of lingering piney bitterness.  The alcohol in this beer is also hidden very well.

M: Medium full bodied with moderate, smooth carbonation. Slightly creamy wtih a moderately dry finish.

O: Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA is almost too big of a DIPA to really be easily drank.  However, there is enough balance in the brew to allow this beer to either a sipper or one that pairs well with food.  I had this this beer with BBQ and it was the perfect match.  Though well hidden, there were some hints of the alcohol in the mouthfeel and just in the taste as the beer warmed. Foothills Brewing Company Seeing Double IPA is a very enjoyable brew with well constructed flavors and aromas.  I would drink this beer again and recommend it if you are a hophead.

Serving Type: 22 oz Bottle
