I had this beer once a while back but recently I acquired a couple more.  Man that's good beer!  Anyone know how to make it?  I am also impressed with how smooth it is for being 8+% ABV.

 

I'm not even sure what hops are there.  Probably some citra but not in a huge amount b/c it doesn't seem overpowering.

all citra for flavor/aroma???  I'm having a hard time believing it!

text in case the link ever goes away:

Sean Lawson, owner of Lawson’s Finest Liquids, a small-batch brewery based in Warren, Vermont, shared this recipe for their Double Sunshine IPA, which is packed with juicy tropical fruit flavors and bright herbal aromas thanks to the abundance of U.S. grown hops.

 

ALL-GRAIN

Batch size: 5 gallons (19 liters)
OG: 1.074
FG: 1.013
IBUs: 100+
ABV: 8%

 

MALT/GRAIN BILL

8.5 lb (3.85 kg) 2-row pale ale malt
12 oz (340 g) Carapilsen malt
2.5 lb (1.1 kg) Vienna-style malt
1 lb (454 g) flaked oats
6 oz (170 g) Caramunich-type malt

 

HOPS & ADDITIONS SCHEDULE

0.75 oz (21 g) Columbus [14% AAU] at 60 minutes
1 oz (28 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at 20 minutes
1 lb (454 g) corn sugar at 10 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at 5 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at knockout
3 oz (85 g) Citra [12.5% AAU] at dry hop

 

YEAST

Fermentis Safale US-05, Lallemand BRY-097, Wyeast 1056 (American Ale), or White Labs WLP001 (California Ale)

 

DIRECTIONS

Single infusion mash: Achieve a target mash of 152°F (67°C). Hold for 45 minutes, then raise to mash-out temperature and begin lauter phase.

Collect enough wort to boil 6.5 gallons (24.6 liters) and boil for 60 minutes, following the hops and additions schedule. After the boil is complete, begin a whirlpool in the kettle and let the knockout hops rest in the hot wort for at least 30 minutes before chilling.

Chill the wort rapidly to 68°F (20°C). Ferment at 68°F (20°C) for one week. Cool to 55°F (13°C) to settle the yeast. Dump the yeast from the bottom of the fermentor or rack to a clean, sanitized vessel. Add the dry hops and let the beer sit for an additional four to seven days at 55–57°F (13°C).

I've been really wanting to get my hands on some of this. While I'm not a huge NEIPA guy I'm in for this.

I don't find it to be particularly cloudy or anything.  just a well made IPA.

I really did not enjoy SoS to much.  I really did not enjoy the gouged price of 21/4 I was charged either!!  I will say that the recipe posted may have been the originla Sip recipe but seeing most of it is brewed at Two Roads in CT now I would bet it has changed.

 

Now, if you can post a recipe for Supper Session #2 I would like that!

I wonder if they aren't very consistent.  first can I had I thought was very good but not super great.  these last 2 cans I had were really great.

Could very well be.  So much good beer out there that I have a hard time going back to beers I did not love.  I will try it again but this time maybe on tap.  I did just have Broken Spoke from the Alchemist, what a great beer.

They do some small batches of beers they used to make at the pub and I think this was one.  All Amarillo APA 6% and so tasty.

well either way I do like the sip of sunshine grain bill for my own uses.  kind of a high gravity version of a beer I made once that was a one off the drez Chinook/citra where I used some flaked oats.
