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.

A hazy orange beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is alcoholic, with notes of peaches and caramel, while the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, leading to a dry hoppy end.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Slightly hazy amber with a handsome, creamy head. Lightly perfumy, floral aroma. Sweetish malty - actually distinctly sweet. Completely dominated by aroma hops, but not overly bitter. A very accessible IIPA. 271105

Bottled. Hazy amber, small head. Peach aroma. Sweet and very malty with shampoo-like fruitiness and bitterness. Extremely hoppy - like concentrated hop juice wiyh thick,oily mouthfeel. The finish is salty with huge bitterness. The beer is all about hop flavour. Alcohol and sweetness are ramped up in an attempt to balance it out, which is quite succesful. I still feel that I’m getting a bit tired of the American trend to throw in all the hops possible and then try to balance it, rather then starting from the other end - the idea to make a good beer and use as much hops as that requires.

Bottled. Hazy orange big white creamy head, lacing. Fruity nose. Fruity, hoppy and alcohol in flavour. Hoppy fruit in aftertaste. The IPA works, and the alcohol suits the flavour completeness pretty well.

Bottled, thanks to Engelsmann for sharing. Clear orange coloured with a white head. Sweet aroma of malts, caramel, pine needles and hops with notes of dried fruits. Flavour of hops, pine needles and dried fruits.

Hazy light amber colour. Earthly, lightly grapefruity hop in the nose. The flavour is fairly sweet, with rich caramel. They almost gets cloying, these malts. Light tropical fruit and jolly rancher fruit notes kick around a bit underneath of the sweetness. A little bitterness going on, but it’s overwhelmed.

Amber color. It’s the kind of sweetish Pale Ale, with some hopping but not particularly aromatic. Very simple.
