Brewers Description of this Double IPA:
“Pass through the event horizon with this IPA2. American Cascades meld a citrus blast with spicy English First Golds. Savor an intense hoppiness, smooth bitterness and subtle malt character. Prepare to go hypersonic!”
Our Review:The aptly named Mach 10 is an exhilarating ride. This basketball orange ale provides a pulpit for a tight-knit head. Combustible fragrances of hops, pepper, leather, banana, and rocket fuel envelop the atmosphere. An intense rich introduction is semi-sweet with some really nice caramel malt intertwined. Hops become slightly more citrusy toward the back with a noticeable alcohol bite.
This is not the best beer to combat the scorching summer sun, but Mach 10 summer double IPA is a pure rush for happy hour.
