Illuminated Brew Works - Double Dipped Orange Sunshine
Style: New England Double IPA
ABV: 8.00%     

This Double Dry-Hopped Double IPA version of Orange Sunshine has the same Orange and Lemon Zest & the Same Hops with a boost from Citra, Tim our house Saison yeast is on the sidelines for this one and is letting IPA yeast do the work. Because enough is never quite enough we’ve double-downed on the deliciousness by adding our favorite ingredient Marshmallow Flavoring. There are no added sweeteners. No Lactose and it finishes at the same gravity as our other DDH DIPAs. The Marshmallow may fool you into thinking otherwise - something we call perceived sweetness.
