Dec 10, 2006 I was really looking forward to this beer, but I came away a bit dissapointed. I am a sucker for IPAs and hops, but I thought this beer was way too unbalanced to be enjoyable. Maybe I was on an off night or something, but this didnt work with me.

Dec 8, 2006 Stoudt’s Double IPA
12 oz bottle
Medium pour in a mug
Recent brewing, ingested 12/06
Poured a hazy orange amber with a rocky off white fully lasting head with excellent lacing that left layered ring of lacing upon every sip, like reading the rings of on a tree and tracing it’s age.
Smelt of strong sweet grapefruit and orange, tropical pineapple banana bubble gum or starbust mystery flavor, parsnip, with light barnyard and earthy yeasty flavors.
Taste was upfront strong bittersweet sweet pineapple and citrus cake followed by a harsh and bitter conifer taste with moderate sweet sweet bread on a long hops finish. Palate was medium to full bodied, creamy with a dry finish, also lightly syrupy, softly carbonated, a nice slight alcoholic warmth and moderate to heavy hops astringency.
Overall, a great DIPA that balances a malt sweetness backbone and strong hops nicely.

Dec 6, 2006 Poured a golden copper, with hints of orange and red. Head was fluffy offwhite. Aroma of citrus and malts; very little pine or malt aroma. Flavor was complex, but mellow. Very drinkable beer for me. Main flavors of hops and malt, but also of fruit, citrus, and grapefruit. Not my favorite DIPA, but very enjoyable.

A deep golden copper color wth a nice head. This was a truly awesome Double IPA. Easy to drink nothing like a NW hopped ale that will rip your heart out. This was drinkable and was awesome. Loved the flavors and the finish was dry and perfect. Great beer.

Dec 1, 2006 Let the bitterness shine! Yessss! A beautiful golden color with a white-ish head that must get overcome by the goodness inside. Hops are the boss here, and the malts. water and other ingredients are the peons. Nice strong bitterness that hangs around well after the beer is gone. Even the aroma yells "Hops!"

Nov 27, 2006 Bottle: Pours a golden color with a slightly off white head. A smell a hint of citrus and maybe some caramel smell in there. Taste is a nice alcholic taste, but fits in very well. The hops are noticeable, but the malt does seem to compliment the hops nicely. It is smooth and hides its alcohol well.

Nov 25, 2006 Draft. Copper, oak in color with light head. Compelling, inviting hoppy scent with taste that hints you from the jump. Two-part taste: tangy, malty initial taste balanced against a hoppy, alcohol-driven following. Very nice.
