Commercial Description:
Stoudt's Double IPA is a strong, full-bodied ale with an intense hop character and deep golden color. This unusual brew is characteristic of the newly recognized style of extremely hoppy and malty ales of American origin. The Double IPA is our strongest beer with an alcohol of over 10% abv and bitterness of more than 75 IBU's. Multiple kettle hop additions and generous dry hopping contribute to the powerful yet smooth and fragrant hop character of this beer. 10% abv.

Pours a light amber color with a hazy body, crowned by a fizzy, off-white head. Mostly diminishing head with good lacing. Aroma is of citrusy, orange and pineapple hops. Harsh sweet initial taste, which reminds Ian of drinking the juice right out of a can of pineapple slices. Taste moves to a light bitter finish, but it is overcome by the sweet beginning. Medium on the palate, it has an oily/creamy texture and soft carbonation. Reviewed on December 18th, 2006.

Fruity smell.. passion fruit, figs, pears mixed with hops. Red and brown in colour with minimal head. Sweet flavour, weak and a littlw watery in consistency. Strong hoppy taste. Bitter after taste, kind of like a sweet cactus.

On tap. Something strange happened here: I smelled a hoppy IPA and this sweet candy juice crap came out. Never have I experienced a disconnect between aroma and flaves like this before, but it was jolting. Very present fresh hops, but sickly berry-like sweetness right off the top. Bad batch maybe?

Bottle. Sweet grapefruit and citrus nose with a strong peach overtone. Lightly floral. Golden pour with a creamy tan head. Loads of sweet, tangy hops in the taste, but not overly bitter. This is more like biting into an oily, juicy fruit. Some bittersweet hops on the exit, but the fruitiness is really what lingers. Gently warming. Caramel and peaches from start to finish, fullish body with a creamy-smooth mf. Nice to have an IPA that isn’t sickeningly over-bittered. A very good one from a (so far) hit-or-miss brewer.

What?! 10.6%?!?

On tap @ Brew Kettle: Clear copper color with an off white head. Aroma of citrusy hops, and some caramel and pale malts. Flavor, caramel up front, some citric notes on the finish, the bitterness just wasn’t really there for me though.
