Double Bunny

Tap to rate

Juicy and fresh, with the fruit of the Bunny beers pushed up to nearly eight per cent and the haze and soft body of the New England manner kept intact. The colour is deep gold and cloudy, the hops American. Double Bunny is the largest of the family and appears seasonally rather than all year; the strength is carried by the fruit rather than by malt sweetness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Double Bunny

◎ Appearance

Deep gold with a pronounced haze characteristic of New England-style brewing. The cloudiness stems from yeast and suspended solids, creating an opaque, inviting appearance. A modest white head forms and recedes quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass.

deep goldhazy, yeast-drivensoft carbonation

◌ Aroma

Bright American hop character dominates, with forward tropical and citrus notes that drive the aromatic profile. Underlying stone fruit and subtle peach emerge beneath the hop intensity, while the yeast contribution remains restrained and clean. Malt sweetness sits far back, allowing the fruit expression to remain the focal point.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and juicy, with the hop-derived fruitiness taking immediate precedence over any malt backbone. Mid-palate develops stone fruit and slight herbal notes, maintaining a supple body that belies the 7.8% strength. Bitterness resolves at 80 IBU as a restraint rather than a statement, allowing the beer's fruit character to remain the dominant voice throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering stone fruit and a subtle herbal echo from the American hops. No cloying sweetness persists; the strength is carried entirely by the fruit character rather than residual malt.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
