Edge Brewing may be based in Barcelona, but their labels proudly state American Craft Beer.  Given the importance of the water used in brewing, I'd suppose that American breweries would have a hard time emulating the final product.  It's certainly better than Barcelona tap water.  Edge has a number of interesting and delicious brews, but today I felt like a good strong ale.  Juggernaut Double IPA was on the shelf to meet the need.

It's a rich orange tinged yellow color with a bright, foamy head.  There's an immediate whiff of citrus when opening the bottle, but it's delicate and fruity, not overbearing.  The flavor is an interesting blend of sweet and bitter, in the best sense; they seem to work as a swirling yin-yang rather than angry racers trying to pass each other on the road, so while the taste seems to change by the moment, it's in complimentary ways.  There is a tendency for the flavor to hang around, so it's not as clean as other ales might be, but the taste itself remains light.  For a double IPA it's not very harsh, although some might find the hops a little much.  But they should know it's a double before they start drinking.
