Tap Handle #210: Sprecher - Double IPA Griffon

This is identical to my Sprecher Special Amber tap, except for the color and label, which is how the different varieties of beers are distinguishable for each tap. I've seen some other Sprecher griffons that were red or blue.

Sprecher Double IPA is a summer seasonal of the imperial or double style, therefore much stronger than the normal IPA's now found everywhere. It has a very balanced but different flavor than most US micro types focusing on more on malt and hop balance, where CA IPA's emphasize massive hop aroma and bitterness. Weighted average on ratebeer.com is 3.14 out of 5.
