On the first day of Christmas, Frank About Beer drank for me - Two To The Dome DIPA from 3 Stars Brewery.
This double India Pale Ale pours a dark, golden color with good carbonation. DIPAs tend to be higher in alcohol and, at 8.9% ABV, this one follows suit.
The taste is an interesting combination of the citrus-like hops of a west coast IPA, but also has the mild pine flavor of an east coast style. With all the hops flavors, you'd expect it to be bitter, but it's actually not that strong. There's a lot of great flavor going on with this beer, though.
Overall, it's a great DIPA that I've never had before, and would recommend it to IPA fans, whether you prefer ones with more citrus or pine. It's very drinkable, and would definitely be one I'd have again.
Check back tomorrow for the next beer in our #12BeersofXmas series.
Cheers!
