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).

A hazy amber beer with a caramel colored disappearing head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with notes of caramel and oil. The flavor is lovely hoppy with notes of the oil from the hops before a dry hoppy end sets in. A lovely IPA.

(Bottle 65 cl) Dark amber, thick, creamy off-white head. Incredibly fruity nose with hints of....pineapple! Beautiful hoppy aroma with lots of fruity esters - again. An underlying sweetness almost drowned by an extreme bitterness, but also an extreme experience. 310505

Bottled, thanks Dr.Bill! Reddish amber. Restrained hop aroma. Hugely malty with clean rounded mouthfeel. Dominated by citric, perfumy hops. Lingering very bitter finish.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours deep golden orange with a lacing off-white head. Pineapple and caramel malt aroma, light citrusy note. Flavour is fruity with light peach and pineapple notes, dry wooden touch and a breadish malt base. Dry bitter and yet light sweet fruity finish. Goes really dry in the far finish.

Bottle. VERY nice hop aroma. Dark copper colour, small creamy white head. Flavour has a very nice aromatic hoppiness. Bitter aftertaste which stays on the tongue for a long time.

Bottled. A bit hazy orange colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma was flowery and fruity hops. Slight caramel, and nuts also. Flavour is nutty, hoppy and a bit caramellish. Hides it’s alcohol quite well, but alcohol shows in a quite warming feeling while you drink.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Orange coloured with a solid lacing head. Nice aroma with lots of fruits and hops. Nice sweet flavour with lots of fruits and hops. Nice long bitter finish. Not as bitter as North Bridge Extreme.
