We're not done with Maine Double IPAs

After a long excursion into unusual beers, we've returned to sampling more conventional styles, starting with Double IPAs. This style features a heavy wack of hops, and higher alcohol content than an “ordinary” IPA. A subset of the style, New England Double IPA, is typically less sweet, and emphasizes the floral flavors and aromas of the hops rather than their brash bitterness. The past several years have seen an explosion of double IPAs brewed in Maine, so I'm revisiting the topic this week, and sipping three other examples of the style. Happy Thanksgiving, and cheers!
