Jul 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle - purchased at hop devil grill; pours solid gold with nice hazy to it and plenty of carbonation; huge aromas of piny hops, but flavors follow a little on the weak side; texture is thin and lacking that malt body to smooth out the bitters

Jul 29, 2008 Maybe I got an old bottle or maybe a bad one b/c there’s no way a beer that scores a 96 tastes like mouthwash and alcohol but then again it does have a high ABV.

Jul 28, 2008 12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Pours light gold with a slight haze to it, topped by a thin white head. Smells of pineapple, mango, caramel, and pine. Resinous pine and citrus flavors with a light taste of alcohol. Though it smells wonderful the flavor is merely alright.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light brown with a small white head. Aroma of nice caramel malt, bitter citrus hops. Flavor of wheat cracker, good malt-hops balance. Crisp and quite tasty. Not very hoppy considering it’s a double IPA, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Nicely balanced. Abv is very well hidden.

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Aroma very fleshy citrus. Flavor the same tangy citrus, meshing nicely with mildly sweet, light but full-bodied malt. Very nice, although I feel like similar results have been achieved with less than 10.6 abv.

Jul 20, 2008 As Larry David would say: Pretty, Pretty Good. Pours a nice strong head that fades after a few minutes but leaves behind some nice lacing. The Stoudts Double IPA has a nice dark golden color. I had braced myself for a big hop flavor and I got it but not in that bad way. While saying it was balanced would be pushing it as that is not the point of this beer but it was very smooth and as balanced as a Double could be. The bitterness hits you on the way out though and if you stop sipping for a bit you are still tasting the bitterness.

Jul 18, 2008 Updated: Nov 26, 2008Taste 7/8, bottle(date incomprehensible/smeared ink) Looks: Very thick head atop a golden torso. Aroma: 1st hops-citrus/soap, 2nd caramel chewiness. Taste: Foamy goodness of the head adds a little texture to a thick bodied IIPA. Nice malt ratio/recipe- keeps from astringent/soapy affair. Nice. Thick foam hangs on to the glass like a mountain climber. Well done! Never tasted the alcohol.

Jul 10, 2008 Nose is a hopbomb. Grassy nose with some tangerine notes. Quite a foamy pour. Flavour is orange and grapefruit on top of caramel. Bitterly dry on the finish.
