I presume the news has already made it to most of you, but Propeller's next growler only release (follow-up to the Zwickel beer) is a Double IPA. 7.1% 99.3 IBUs, available February 1st.

Was the first one a wonder? Or just a one-hit?

Hey, for 99.3 IBUs I can let them in on a technicality. At least until I taste it.

Is there a release on this? Curious about the hops they are using.
Edit: Found it.

The next One Hit Wonder Limited Release Propeller DIPA (Double India Pale Ale) will be available February 1st at the Propeller Shop in Growlers only. This full bodied Double IPA is brewed with ridiculous amounts of premium Pacific Northwest Warrior and Cascade hops and is paired with a rich blend of 2-row Pale and Crystal malts. The result is an unapologetic and exhilarating hop explosion that will bully your senses. At 7.1% alcohol by volume and 99 BUs, Propeller DIPA is not for everyone… It is a TRUE hop bomb, for TRUE hop freaks!

Available tomorrow - and likely won't last long if you're looking to grab some.

Anyone try this one yet? I just tasted some and wonder if they poured me the wrong beer in my growler. What I have seems like their IPA, not much hop aroma for a DIPA. I wouldn't call what I've tasted a hop bomb. I must have their IPA instead.

John, your 100%, it just tastes like a slightly bigger version of the IPA. They must have switched up the taps or something cause chalmers and I are trying to find aroma as well the 99 IBUs there hiding in there? I like it as an IPA but not what I look for in an IIPA

Good to know I'm not the only one. My first thought was "this needs more hops". Bitterness is fine, and the malts are good, making it nicely drinkable for the 100 IBUs, but the dead aroma kills it as a Double IPA. Needs more finish hops and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't dry-hopped at all.

Haven't tried it yet, but on the subject of notching up existing local IPAs, Jeff mentioned that Lorne had suggested that he would soon be producing a true hop bomb for Rogue's. Any word on that?

Well that's disappointing then. Their website clearly states that it's a hop bomb. I'm getting lots of bready maltiness and toffee/caramel notes in the aroma, but only bittering and some flavour hop presence. Very low hop aroma. For me, malt should be taking a backseat to hops in a DIPA.

Bruce,
Jeff didnt say Lorne would be making a hop bomb, he said he was going to brew a bigger ipa with twice as many hops as the current one! LOL.
Sent from the hop-phone.

"It’s not for everyone," Allen said. "It’s not a wimpy beer by any stretch."
This full-bodied beer is brewed with Pacific Northwest Warrior and Cascade hops paired with a rich blend of two-row Pale and Crystal malts.
"In order to make it not simply a big brother of our regular IPA, which is now our best-selling bottled beer, we have changed the hops and we changed the malts up," Allen said. "It’s very intense, very floral."

Quite bitter and tasty, but I agree on the lack of aroma (something you definitely want in a DIPA). Not getting the feeling there was a ton of late additions in this one at all. That being said, I enjoyed it I just wouldn't call it a DIPA and not really a "hop bomb"

These guys need to go back to home-brewing school and learn what late hopping is...

Next One Hit Wonder hits the taps tomorrow - a Bock this time. Likely to sell out before the weekend just like last time, so it you want some, get there quick.
