Grey Sail Brewing Of Rhode Island Captain’s Daughter

Grey Sail Brewing Of Rhode Island Captain’s Daughter is an American Double/Imperial IPA, 8.5% ABV. Big thanks to BDR pal Matt for leaving this trade extra he got behind after a recent podcast recording.

This pours rather light and a bit cloudy, in all honesty it kind of looks like like your typical Wheat Ale. One sniff of this is proof enough to make you realize this is no Wheat Ale! I’m smelling a huge fruity aroma with boat loads of passion fruit along with a little bit of mango and pineapple. Outstanding taste as well. The passion fruit is once again potent, add to that some sharp grapefruit, sweet sugary bread, notes of papaya, pine resin, and a considerable amount of alcohol coming out for a 8.5% DIPA.

Maybe a bit too hot to be something I would want to drink a lot, but the flavor and aroma of this beer are excellent!
