Examples from GABF Winners List 2019

Gold Medal: Double Cone
Alvarado Street Brewery Salinas CA

9.3% ABV

Notes from Brewery: “Hop Bomb” would be cliché to describe this beer. It goes way beyond that – intense aromas of pineapple, freshly crushed gooseberry, orange pith and the whole spectrum of “dank” blast through the glass. That’s what you get with nearly five pounds per barrel of Nelson, Mosaic, and Citra hops.

Silver Medal: Westbound Double IPA
Westbound and Down Brewing Co. Idaho Springs CO

9.3% ABV

Notes from Brewery : We did not hold back on this DIPA. A ludicrous amount of Vic Secret, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Cryo Mosaic hops pack big aromas of tangerine, blueberry, papaya, and other tropical fruits. Even with all of those hops you do get a nice sweet biscuit malt profile, that ends in a clean dry finish.
