Double Daddy

Tap to rate

Tropical aromas pour from this double hazy IPA: a heavy load of hops rests on a soft bed of malt, the body is full and creamy, and there is no sharp bitterness. It began as a table conversation with a father about taste and the beer ads you still know by heart. The brewers asked their own dads for adverts and labels tied to their first beer, and brewed this 8% limited edition for 2026.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Double Daddy

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow with a distinctly hazy, turbid body that catches the light with a soft glow. A thick, creamy white head forms on the pour and maintains excellent lacing down the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit aromas dominate immediately—pineapple, mango, and stone fruit leap from the glass with vibrant clarity. Beneath the fruit sits a soft, rounded maltiness that grounds the profile without asserting grain character. Noble hop character contributes subtle citrus and floral notes that add complexity without harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a full, creamy mouthfeel that coats without heaviness. Tropical and stone-fruit flavors mirror the aroma, with the soft malt providing a gentle sweetness that balances the 50 IBU of bitterness. The finish remains smooth and refreshing, with no sharp edges or astringency.

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.
