Second Fiddle | Fiddlehead Brewing Company | American Double IPA | Shelburne, VT | 8.2% ABV

A big thanks to Keaton to delivering this to NYC for me! 

Served chilled from a 16 oz can and consumed straight from the can. I poured a little out to see the coloring, however. Pours a deep orange/copper color with a frothy off white head. The beer is incredible hazy, and a piece of hop cone actually came out of the can. Smell is piney, grassy, earthy, and of citrus. Taste is sweet and malty, with an absolute hop bomb. Grapefruit, orange and mango are evident, along with passion fruit, and a dank, intense bitterness. Carbonation is moderate with a medium body. The beer has a slight creaminess to it as well. Aftertaste lingers with a ton of bitterness, and lasts longer than most beers I have had.

Overall a tremendous DIPA. I would buy a whole case of this if I could. I had this a few weeks ago when the beer had only been canned 8 days before. Ultra fresh, and incredibly good. Bravo Fiddlehead!
