Hangar 24: Double IPA

9.0% ABV  -  118 IBU's

As I said before, I'm a huge fan of Hangar 24 out in Redlands, CA. They didn't waste any time or energy coming up with a fancy name for their Double IPA. It's obvious they spent their time making a great craft beer!

Although it is reported at 118 IBU's, this bad boy goes down nice and smooth because it isn't super bitter like a lot of the other DIPA's on the market (even though I like those too). This one just has a nice smooth taste that is not overly malty, but has a nice hop aroma. The scary thing about this one is that it is so drinkable that you swig it down and don't really realize just how strong it is. Then it sneaks up on you.....
