Avery – duganA is a Double IPA with an 8.5% ABV and 93 IBU. This one pours golden and will create a rather large head if poured quickly. It takes some time for the head to recede. Since this is an IPA, I like it to warm a bit. So, take your time pouring and allow the beer to warm slightly. I like this beer and loved the taste of grapefruit and pine. There is definitely an emphasis on hops and I like it. I was thinking that Cascade hops were used, but I see that it’s cousin Chinook is used; as well as, Centennial and Columbus. The barley is two-row, and dark aromatic caramel malt. Avery brews this beer “whenever we have a little extra tank space and a desire for dank hops!” On Avery’s website, duganA is described as “Lupulin Rapture Incarnate! As fervent devotees of hops, we found ourselves on a quest to create a transcendental IPA capable of quenching our voracious lupulin desires. Our mantra became "unity of bitterness, hop flavor and aroma." Enlightened, duganA IPA was born: A brutally bitter, dank, piney and resinous ale designed for those seeking a divine hop experience.“ I heard on a pod cast that duganA is the Hindi word for double. So, if you like hops and you like a double IPA, I suggest you try Avery’s duganA. This one is for the hop-heads and I think they will not be disappointed.
