Lagunitas ... a little bitter for you based on what I know of your beer habits. This nitro IPA has virtually no bitterness due to the nitrogen.

Will look for it, but the ABV seems rather low for a Dubbel

So, I happened to spend this afternoon with last night's hosts and I brought up your comment.
This beer has only been released in the US thus far, but they think that when it is released in Ireland and the UK it is going to sell like wildfire.
I am going to guess that IF you drink IPAs they are probably English IPAs using Old World ingredients and they are typically a lot different than the IPAs we drink in Southern California in that the hops are more in your face with the bitterness that vvvv doesn't like.
The Guinness Nitro IPA uses 5 different hops and then uses one of them again to dry hop it. I know that this would probably be pretty close to a west coast IPA with bitterness (even with the Guinness yeast and malt), but the nitrogen just makes it so smooth and creamy.
