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).

Bottle, Bought Bjergtrolden Roskilde. Golden color with high white head. Great aroma with plenty of hops and fruit. Taste dominated by the many hops, but bitterness is kept at a very fine level. Mouthfeel just elegant. A great IPA.

one of the best imperial ipa’s ive ever had. up there with dogfish 90 in my book. may even be better. very full flavor. very floral and malty sweet. but very hoppy as well. superbly balanced. finish is sweet and bitter hops with some alcohol present. I LOVE THIS BEER. cant wait till it gets warmer out so i can crack open one of these in the hot sun. yeah!

Pours dark golden amber with a fluffy off white head. The aroma is extremely hoppy with grapefruit, orange, and lime notes. The flavor is very well balanced with a light malt flavor and a ton of grapefruit flavor with a tart lemon. jose pistolas $7 pint.

Bronze color, but Golden under light. Nice size, white head. Lacing on the glass is jagged and lose. Aroma is strong, i can tell this because i am all stuffed up and i still got a good hoppy whiff. Tastes like an IPA on crack. it is strong and bitter but smooth and creammy. i likey.

Bottle. Pours amber with a thick white head. Looks a bit murky. Aroma is sweet of some fruits and a bit of honey or caramel. Tastes bitter sweet with citrus flavor that ends in nice hoppy finish. I actually enjoy the flavor, though it feels a bit strange to the palate.

Big flowery aroma, deep inviting copper colored liquid. Bitter coniferous flavor, alcohol, sticky feel, moderately sweet of caramel/toffee. Basically a big primordial American hop bomb, and while it’s good enough for what it’s going for, after a dozen others much like this, the novelty has kind of worn off.
