Founders - Double Trouble



Founders - Double Trouble

Double Trouble is a 9.4% ABV Imperial IPA from Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, MI.  This is one of their seasonal releases available from May to June.

Pours a dark honey yellow with a one finger beige white head that fades quickly.  Decent sticky lacing around the glass.

Double Trouble smells of big grapefruit and floral hops, along with some nice tangerine, mango, and peach aromas.  Maybe some light resin and caramel as well.

Big grapefruit and floral hops in the taste with a hop bitter finish.  Some pine/resin and decent lingering flavors.  Light booze with a slightly warm finish from the 9.4% ABV.  Juicy finish.

Founders Double Trouble is a top notch Imperial IPA that I highly recommend if you're into Double/Imperial IPAs.  They also have a barrel aged version called Doom which I haven't been able to acquire due to its limited release, but sounds interesting if you're into barrel aged beers.

Score: 4.5/5 (Untappd Caps)
