Stoudts Double IPA

Brewed by Stoudts Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Adamstown, Pennsylvania USA

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.

Bold citrus nose. Pours delightfully with great lacing. Big and bold mouthful, with just the right bitterness. Many fruity tastes at first then the alcohol becomes present. I’ve depleted the supplies at 2 local merchants but have found others so my supply hasn’t dried up, hope it lasts thru the summer.

Aroma of honey, flowers, grass, citrus. Clear amber orange hue. Average sized off-white head that left great lace. Flavor is sweet and sticky citrus, honey, orange candy and finishes with a nice bitterness. Smooth and soft with nice crispy bitters but kind of cloying. Fantastic DIPA

Poured a murky copper orange with a foamy, soapy white head. Extremely hoppy aroma, citrus, pine, perfume, flowers. Malty, citrus, flavor with notes of orange, lemons, grapefruits and hints of mint and vanilla. Not as thick or sweet in the mouth as you would anticipate, finish is subtle with a lasting bitterness and acidity. A peak example of the type and enjoyable and drinkable

12oz bottle purchased from Wine Gallery in Boston. Pours a clear light gold with a bunch of little floaties from the bottle conditioning. Not the best looker. Strong resiny, piney hop aroma. First taste is warm with a good balance of malt and hops, with the strong piney hop aftertaste. I was surprised to look up the alcohol content, since it’s not labelled on the bottle - I feel it should be, it would be easy to misjudge the booze in this one. There is a touch of sweetness in the taste, but otherwise the 10+% strength is well masked. Nice stuff, if you like that kind of thing.... and I do!

Aroma mild citrus hops. Appearance hazy yellwo-amber little head but moderate lacing. Flavor not as hoppy nor as bitter as I would expect from a double IPA. Palate full bodied without being oily. Overall impression smoother than I would expect from a double IPA. Hides the alcohol well.
