    They sound fantastic and make me think of Toppling Goliath Sosus.

    Unfortunately no Double Citra today, we did this about a week ago.HFS is always changing their selection, but they faithfully update the site on a regular basis.

    You have me breaking a commandment over here, but good post and great description. The glow of the DC is mesmerizing.

    I've had Double Sunshine before, and it was pretty awesome. I personally got a lot of Passion Fruit flavor in it.

    Great post: intelligent, even-handed, and visceral. Many posters could learn a thing or three from your example. Thanks.

    Very cool! Thanks for the report.

    Next time try the HF Double Galaxy - that would handily beat both of these IMO.

    Having had both of them within hours of each other but not side by side I have to agree that this is a great thing. My personal opinion was that double citra was a lot better than single hop citra from hill farmstead. However double sunshine was the best Lawson's I have ever had.

    To pu them head to head I would probably go with the double sunshine with the double citra only behind by the smallest of margins
    I would love to try both again side by side to see where I go at that time

    Sean Lawson makes criminally small batches, hard to find but worth the effort.

    Double Sunshine is the best DIPA/IPA I have ever had.

    Do not sell Lagunitas short my friend: it was in fact Lagunitas Sucks that awakened my dormant hop bug, and it is perharps the best six pack beer anywhere next to 3 Floyd's Zombie Dust,always in my fridge.

    Just curious, for someone who has both "always in ur fridge," how would u compare the two. I've drank my body weight I all things Lagunitas but never anything from FFF and debating putting together a trade for some in the near future

    Double Sunshine is better than any IPA/DIPA HF makes.
