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).

Very very hoppy, very very good. Orange color, high carbonation but rapidly diminishing head. Alcohol well hidden - a great beer for hop-lovers.

This beer is a wonderful, slightly red, copper color. You can smell everything that went into making this fine brew. (Although I haven’t learned to identify everything yet.) A little bitter, but still one of the tastiest beers I’ve ever had.

Amazing DIPA. Had it on tap at Canal Street Pub. Came serviced in a chalice. Smelled of grapefruit and other IPA goodness. The smell was intoxicating. It reminded me of a fresh Hopslam/90 Minute. Grapefruit was definitely the predominat smell here. The color was a beautiful amber color. Taste "Holy Hops" is baout all I could say. This DIPA is the perfect IPA for me. Perfect amount of hoppiness verus flavor. The hop level actaully reminded me of Ruination, in that the hops actually HURT my teeth, but in a good way. This is the BEST DIPA I’ve ever had, living on the East Coast. Recommended.

Pours with great color and thick full head. Aroma of citrus and hops. Taste is just what you would expect: hops and more hops. Great color, great aroma, great flavor, great beer.

The aroma is fantastic. It´s very fresh and of citrus, toffe and caramel. The appearance is wonderful with a red colour. The taste is heavy and bitter, fruity and dry. This is a very, very good beer.

22oz bomber. Poured a orange/golden clear. My bottle said it was 10.1% and you couldn’t taste any alc% at all. Very damn tasty, and easy to drink. Very fucking solid beer.
