Port Mongo Double IPA

Aroma – Columbus was spawned by Amarillo and Cascade, our first two brewcats, so we decided the beer should really feature a bunch of these hops. As such, there is a massive, almost unmistakeable resinous aroma in the beer created by the judicious use of Columbus, Amarillo and Cascade hops.

Taste – Like most double IPA-style beers, the taste of hops that linger for days is at work in this beer. We like the way hops weave in and out of what little malt you can taste. Certainly, we brewed this as a hop-forward beer and think that after one sip you’ll agree with us.

Color – Hazy yellow like an English submarine

O.G. – 1.080

Finish – Dry with some malted barley sweetness in the finish of the beer.

Body – Medium to high body. Certainly not a “small” beer by any stretch of the imagination, yet remarkably easy to drink. A true stealth beer if there ever was one.

ABV – 8.5%

Hops – Columbus, Amarillo, Centennial, Cascade and Simcoe

Suggested Serving Temp – 46° – 52°F
