Not quite red, not quite ipa but quite big. This beer is built upon a solid malt foundation of medium crystal, biscuit, and vienna for a considerable dose of toffee, bread and nutty flavors and aromas. We then laced the beer with hops throughout the process. First hops go into the first wort runoff and hops continue to be added through the boil, after boil, and then dry-hopped in our conditioning tanks at 37 degress. Rainbow 1 = MALT; Rainbow 2 = HOPS: A double rainbow of flavors. 7.0% ABV
A nice, crisp summer beer, best served very cold. A hint of bitterness, but it’s fugitive. Robust? (eh, kinda, but subtle.) Satisfying. Very nice flavors.
Love this beer! I think you should have this one available year-round…just sayin!
I’ve been a fan of Iron Horse’s Irish Death Imperial Stout for years. Double Rainbow is equally good. A side note… the graphic design on the label for Double Rainbow is (IMHO) not as good as Iron Horse’s other labels. I didn’t like the white background or the skulls in the rainbows. The label feels very “soda poppish.” Still, a very tasty beer. I’m going out tomorrow to find some more.
