RUSSIAN DOLL - DOUBLE IPA Download BeerXML
THIS BEER IS
The levels of hops vary throughout the range. We love hops, so all four beers are big, bitter badasses, but by tweaking the amount of each hop used later in the boil and during dryhopping, we can balance the malty backbone with some unexpected flavours.
Simcoe is used in the whirlpool for all four beers, and yet still lends different characters to each.
