Nøgne Ø Doppelt IPA
Name – Nøgne Ø Doppelt IPA
Country – Finland
Type – American Double IPA
Appearance – Poured a cloudy copper color with a big slightly off white head that left lacing on the glass. I noticed bubbles rising almost through out the entire time drinking it.
Smell – Nice citrus like hop profile with some pine hints to it.
Taste – Big full citrus hop taste with some pine notes. Nice caramel malt backing that has a bit of a bread like taste to it as well.
This is a collaboration brew between Nøgne Ø and the brewmaster of Yo-Ho Brewing in Japan. A pretty well balanced DIPA that doesn’t have overpowering hops and a nice malt backing to it to even things out. I was kind of surprised to read it is 100 IBUs as I have had some brews with less IBUs that this one that the hops are very dominate in. But I found this a pretty good DIPA overall.
Overall Grade – A-
