Second Fiddle is a Double IPA from Fiddlehead Brewing in Vermont, renowned for its bold hop character and complexity. With 8.2% ABV and around 80 IBU, it delivers a strong, aromatic profile dominated by citrus, tropical fruit, and pine notes.

The body is medium to full with solid carbonation, while its color ranges from golden to slightly hazy depending on freshness and storage. The flavor balances initial sweet undertones with a pronounced hop bitterness that carries through to a dry, clean finish.

It is especially appreciated when consumed fresh, as the hop aroma shines most vividly at that point. Thanks to its balance of sweetness and bitterness, along with its strong reputation among craft beer enthusiasts, Second Fiddle is considered a standout example of the American Double IPA style.
