Lets it out of the way the can caught my eye in the beer store immediately and brought me back to my childhood watching Mark Summers and wishing I could get on the show Double Dare. So touché Thomas Hooker Brewery you tapped into my nostalgia and got a new customer…bastards.

Background: There is not a ton of background on the beer available other than the notes provided on the side of the can. “A double dose of dare. Drinking this brew is anything but a physical challenge! A mind boggling level of Citra Hops provides a perfect balance for a silky smooth body and a crisp finish. We double dare you to not enjoy this beer!s.”

Appearance: This can copies the Double Dare logo with the font, colors, and the splat. Its awesome and eye catching, I love it. Once poured you are treated to a hazy amber/copper tone and a foamy highly lacy head that lingers for a while, especially when fresh.

Aroma: The one word I can say about the aroma is WOW. It is filled to the brim with lemon, pine, grass and citrus. Even Jim tried one who has a terrible sense of smell could get all the aroma that this has to offer. Its odd when an aroma outshines the taste, and this may be one of those cases.

Taste: The taste is very juicy with tons of citrusy fruits. Once again I got alot of orange and lemon upfront. As the beer warmed up I noticed more tropical fruits like papaya and pineapple.

Experience: Like most hazy beers the Super Duper Citra is very smooth and also has a creamy mouthfeel. This beer tricks you though, as I continued drinking the bitterness really kicked up for me. By the end the smoothness went away and gave way to the hoppy bitterness. Its still a good drink, but it is odd how much it changes throughout.

Game Pairing: When it comes to game pairing how could I not chose Double Trouble for the NES. The only game licensed by he show you can relive your childhood fantasies of competing against your friends. Make sure you grab a friend or two and grab a four pack of these juice brews sit back and enjoy!
