Year of New Beer: Double Kick Drum with Grapefruit, Rock House Brewing (Lexington)

Written By: Dion on 01/22/2019

When you wander into a taproom for a beer, and you encounter one of the bartenders of said taproom, on his day off, having a beer, you know you've made the right decision. DKD is one of my favorite Lexington beers...give it a dose of grapefruit? You know it's only going to get better. Tons of citrus on the nose, with the aforementioned grapefruit being amplified by notes of mango, tangerine, and candied pineapple. Hints of freshly baked bread on the backend. No letdown on the tongue as the fruits come off juicy and sweet, with virtually zero bitterness. Shortbread, honey, and caramel malt across a citrus juice finish. Stellar. Do yourself a favor and get over to Luigart Court for a pour of this gem before it's gone.
