Stoudts Double IPA

Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial/Double IPA

Thanks to Dim for this one My bottle poured into a tulip glass produced a lasting finger worth of head that turned slowly to a thick lace across the glass .The body of the brew was a clear golden copper color The hops aroma was very pronounced you could smell it in the room. Some malt sweet notes as well as other citrus smells Wow very sweet for a DIPA not overtly so but more than I expected, a little alcohol warmth present too you get the pine flavors of the hops as a finish Good body as well as carbonation I’d drink this again. I would love to try it on tap to see if there is any difference to the hop profile. Another solid brew from Stoudts

Bottle, courtesy daknole. Pours a little hazy but clears to a bright copper with a thick and lacy off-white head. Sweet smell of grapefruit, hay, mango, a little pine, and a smidgen of alcohol. Sweet, sugary, almost oily full body and moderate carbonation. Moderately bitter finish, because the hops are fighting an uphill battle against a tide of malty toffee. The alcohol also shows up in the finish, but not enough to make the finish particularly hot; although I’d rather see this beer somewhere in the 8’s.

So, to summarize: needs more hops, less booze, and probably a bit lower level of non-fermentable sugars to bring it into balance. Otherwise, pretty darn tasty!

Ruby copper with smaller head and an almost meaty, brothy body. Expecting to smell more hops but left with malted and cereal flavors, vanilla, caramel, barnyeard cherry, slightly oaked and a light boozy cloviness. Overall not too bad, alcohol is not overly detectable, yet it is present. Drinkable, almost dangerously so.

Bottle. Orange color. Grapefruit, assam tea and mandarine curacao in the aroma. Firm, grassy herbal, oily hopbitterness with grapefruit and tangerine. Firm oily hopbitter aftertaste.

Bottle courtesy on Dakine. Pours a light amber with 3 finger beige head and decent lacing. Nose is sweet malt, mellow citrus and some pine. Taste is caramel malt and orange with a mild pine finish. Medium mouth feel. Pretty mild for a DIPA. I’ve had single IPAs with a lot more hop punch.

Pours clear orange with off white head. Big hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet malty flavor that balances out the big hop flavor nicely. Alcohol is well hidden for being over 10% abv. Full body with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A very well done DIPA

Dark honey in color and leaves a big foamy one inch head. It smells of hops, citrus, and grass. Stoudts DIPA is suprisingly sweet and leaves a nice bitter aftertaste. For such a high alcohol content, it is well hidden and goes down smooth. This is by far one of the best double ipa’s i have had. Highly recommended.

Amber-honey color with smallish white clingy foam. Smells very floral with some woody spice and a hint of sweet grapefruity citrus. Wow, first impression is this is way too sweet... The alcohol is pretty well hidden, as far as heat is concerned, but this cloying sweetness is not much a better alternative. Sweet caramelly, candied orange dominate and the hops just peek out here and there to remind you its a DIPA. Smooth, despite a decent amount of carbonation and not nearly as sticky feeling as some. Would prefer more hop bitterness to balance the sweetness to keep it drinkable for me.
