I’m so very pleased with this beer on many levels. Good George have (on occasion) been given a bad rap for not producing beers that challenge the status quo. This new release ‘Double Barrel’ absolutely dispels that myth! The colour is vibrant, deep gold and super-juicy. Sweet mango, lychee and passionfruit aromas dance out of the glass quickly filling the room. My favourite part of the beer is the mouthfeel…it’s gentle, rich, delicate and so smooth. Credit where credit is due, the Good George team have turned out a beautifully balanced beer that sits atop of my list for 2021 so far. Currently only available at Good George branded bars, I’m told on good authority that the rest of New Zealand should see it in squealers early in February.
