Great Divide Hercules Double IPA

Brewed by Great Divide Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Denver, Colorado USA

Bottle. Copper colour. Flowery aroma. Pine, caramel and hops. Enough said. Absolutely brilliant.

Shared with Pyrozoid. Murky dark orange poor with a frothy off-white head with good lacing. Aromas of caramel, toffee, grapefruit and orange zest, vanilla, pine and slightly floral. WOW!... Amazing powerfull mouthfeel, great balance, long lasting bitter profile and aftertaste and a big creamy body and dry finish. Hoppy profile is not as aggressive as i might of thought... Top notch DIPA... #1 DIPA.

Bouteille de 660 ml. Deguste avec french tickler. Biere de couleur caramel avec un mince collet collant. Odeur de miel, sucre, epinettes, fruits. Gout depinette, sucre brun, miel, bananes, epices et ble.

Amber golden with a dense off white head. Sticky but patchy lacing. Nose is carmelly hops. Mouth and body are dominated as expected by burly bitter and piney hops. Hops are slightly offset by a medium malty body. Sweet/caramel ping pongs off the even toned hops from start to finish.

Fantastica IPA che mi fa finalmente apprezzare del tutto Great Divide, uno spettacolo di luppoli organizzato dai luppoli e recitato dai luppoli, che però vogliono ammaliare, accarezzare. Devo studiare Cassio Dione ora però

Bottle. Pours cloudy amber, with a thin biege head, good lacing. Smells of pine resin, citrus, and a hint of fruit. Starts slow, lots of sweet candy malt, but gets deliciously bitter quickly. Lots of pine resin, and grapefruit. Medi um body, slightly dry. Became sweeter and more balanced as it warmed.

HOPS!!!!! An over-the-top extreme HOPPY beer with an aroma of HOPS. Big HOPPY flavor with a finish of....HOPS!!! You can try this beer, or can snort pure hops powder, your choice.

Pours a very hazy golden amber with a small bubbly head that doesn’t stick around very long and leaves only traces of lacing. The smell is dominated by citrus and grassy hops up front with a big bready malt presence as well. This may be an older bottle as the taste was dominated by the malts and sugary sweetness with the citrus hops more of a complementary aspect. There is also a little bit of booze heat int he finish as well. The mouthfeel is fairly full-bodied for the style and sticky with the mixture of sweetness and hop resin. I enjoyed this bottle though, as I said, it may be a bit old and I may try a fresher bottle next time to see if the hops are bigger in the taste. Still, it’s a very good DIPA.
