The Rainmaker

Double IPAs are hugely popular (and often have huge ABVs), but this wonderfully smooth and easy-drinking Double IPA manages to stand out from the pack. A huge bready malt aroma blended with apricot, earthy and floral hop aromas makes itself known early on. The beer's flavor follows suit with smooth alcohol and earthy, apricot-like hops and bready, slightly toasty malt combining together to create a complex and interesting profile. The finish is a blend of soft alcohol, earthy, apricot-like hops and a slightly lingering hop bitterness blended with the sweet, bready malt presence. The alcohol is definitely present but is generally very smooth and well-integrated.
