Commercial Description:
Hoppier, maltier and with more alcohol than a standard IPA, Hercules Double IPA definitely is not for the faint of heart. Hercules Double IPA is, however, an elixir fit for the gods. A brash but creamy wonder, Hercules pours a deep orange-coppery color, forming substantial lace in the glass. Hercules Double IPA delivers a huge amount of piney, floral, and citrusy hop aroma and flavor from start to finish. A hefty backbone of nutty, toffee-like malt character balances Hercules' aggressive, punchy hop profile. 85 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Great IPA. Found two four packs sitting on the back of a shelf at my local packy, and bought them both, since I like the Titan IPA from these guys. Aroma is great, and it pours a nice dark copper color with about a finger width of head. Taste is awesome, very hoppy, with a great start and finish. Nose is much like the taste. I will buy more of these if I can find them.

One of my all-time favorites. Very nice smell, lots of hops. Very tasty with lots of hops and a heavy grapefruit flavor. Well balanced, its complex character leaves you wanting more.

Orange color with large creamy lasting head. Hobby and fruity aroma. When it comes to the taste however the bitterness is a bit to the week side disappointing a bit and just too little carbonate too.

Too malty and not bitter enough for double. Great color and texture but for the price it just doesn’t do it for me.

Nice frothy head. Hazy orange and red in color. Aroma comes off more malty than hoppy. A little overboard on malt but the hopiness gives a nice balance. Overall, a decent double.

I’m not normally an IPA person but this one kicked ass. Hoppy, bitter, and long lasting finish. Freaking awesome.

22 oz bottle. Citrus orange grapefruit aroma with some caramel graininess. Clear orange golden with a large creamy almost tan head. Citrus and resiny hop flavor with some alcohol warming and caramel graininess in the background. Medium to full body with a creamy mouth feel. Finish is sweet and bitter. Excellent.

Bottle. Pours an orange colored beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops (nice american hops), with sweetness and notes of toffee and alcohol. The flavor follows the nose. The palate is smooth and with some bitterness. Overall a nice and drinkable DIPA.
