I finally found Turkey's first Double IPA, Astro. Craft beers are still relatively unexplored in Turkey, and Double IPA is one of them.
Why Double? Because this type of beer has more ingredients than a regular IPA; more malt, more hops. This makes the beer more full-bodied, higher in alcohol content, and more flavorful and bitter.
However, compared to other double IPAs I've had before, Astro is a bit milder. It has an alcohol content of 7.3%, slightly below the limit, and an IBU of 65, slightly above the lower limit.
In Astro, you can still taste the characteristic fruity and pine aromas of IPAs. It's a beer that you can enjoy drinking. I think Trokya is taking a step in the right direction.
Alc (ABV): 7.3%
Score: 8/10
