Kryptonite Double IPA, Iron Hill Brewery
Description 

Brewed with more than twice the usual hops, this Double IPA is a hop hero of sorts. First, you'll taste notes of citrus, tropical fruit, and pine. Then, that craveable bitterness swoops in. So strong, so powerful, this beer might just be your, well, let's just say weakness.

The beer pours an inviting deep gold with an orange hue that beckons you closer to the glass. You are first greeted with a clean grapefruit citrus hop aroma that has just a touch of pine and resin coupled with a light bready maltiness to offer balance. The fairly bold hop aroma and flavor are...
