The Pike brewery is from Seattle and they have brought us a double ale. Double is always a good sign cause it usually means more alcohol. The Tandem is a light to medium brown and has a crisp nose with some mocha, caramel and spice. The mocha and caramel come to the mouth first, followed by strong spice that goes through to the finish. This is a really nice beer although the strong spice could throw some people off a bit. The hop is just there in a tingle of the tongue. I would buy this again, I really enjoyed it and the other Pike beer I had, Kilt Lifter , was pretty good as well. The Pike has started off strong. I look forward to sampling their catalog, purely for reviewing purposes.
