Big Barrel Double IPA

By Greg Barbera Published November 2009, Volume 30, Number 5

This handcrafted ale shouldn’t be confused with oak aging by name. Nope the barrel in question here is of the nautical kind – what surfers call the Green Room when you get inside the tub of a wave.

And this double IPA is huge; a massive wave of flavor built upon fruity New Zealand hops as well as healthy doses of Warrior and Ahtanum. This is what happens when the swells come on West Coast IPAs – you get a big, monster wall of hoppiness.
