Hops and Robbers "Extra Delicious IPA" by Double Trouble Brewing Co

Ok so look, if you're going to put "Extra Delicious IPA" on the label you'd best be prepared to live up to it. Thank god brewmaster Paul Dickey delivers on his words. What can I say about this delicious IPA?

I'm a sucker for awesome logo design (as my previous review of Muskoka's Mad Tom has proved). The crazy artwork depicts what I consider to be the brewers version of Hamburgler. Thats right, I made reference to that cheeseburger stealing 1950's style crook-in-a-cape. The Double Trouble equivalent is a classy robber silhouette stealing a bag of Hops. Smart guy, at least he won't end up overweight or stricken with heart disease from his crimes. On to the beer review...

Aroma: Very refreshing and hits me like aromatic bait of hops and citrus.

Taste: Easy going and laid back with just enough fruity aftertaste to keep me guessing that secret citrus ingredient (pineapple).

Overall: I love this beer. It's an awesome weekend party favour and it complimented my jalapeƱo nachos with little effort. A worthy adversary to some of my usual favourites and definitely worth a try.

From what I've been told, Double Trouble Brewing has some other unique and adventurous beers in the works,
so stay tuned and support your local brewery!

Hops and Robbers, I give you an A !!
