Commercial Description:
Fast on the heels of our fantasticly reformulated Hops Infusion, our brewers have picked up the gauntlet and brewed a Double IPA using exclusively Simcoe(R) Hops! This west coast Hops was created in 2000 by Select Botanicals, Inc. and carries a fantastic flavor profile abounding with citrusy-grapefruit, piney, resiny notes that pushes this Double IPA over the top. 9.0% ABV in the brew gives it a nice malt foundation as well. Draft and bottles, 12 oz. in PA, 22 oz. out of state (as we have no 6-packs),

12 oz. Bottle, has a copper-amber pour with a one to two finger high off-white head, head is made-up of very fine bubbles, left nice creamy lacing on the glass, there is a good amount of effervescence in the glass, this was a bit hazy and there were some particles but no sediment in the bottle, aromas of orange, caramel, toasted malt, grass and herbs (Simcoe hops), some floral scents, flavors of flavors of toasted malt, a fine pine needle bitterness, grapefruit, orange and pineapple flavors with caramel , no alcohol taste but I could sense a little warmth in the mouth, has a good amount of malt sweetness that lingers a bit at the finish, hop bitterness is prominent at the finish, has a good mouth feel, this beer looks viscous in the glass, I liked the balance of bitterness and sweetness in this beer, alcohol is hidden well, and this beer would easily be a sneaker.

12 oz bottle. Clear amber/light brown with a foamy sticky off white head that leaves some lacing. Aroma of pine resin, cat piss, citrus and an underlying earthy quality. Mostly bitter flavor with just enough malt sweetness to balance it out, finishes long and bitter. Medium body with average carbonation, and a dry hop mouth feel. Very nice IIPA, love the Simcoe, my new BFF!

pours an amber/orange color with t medium light tan head...fairly lively looking. aroma is maltier than i thought with lots of caramel sweetness, light fruit, and some pine. aroma remids me of a barleywine (how old is the bottle?) flavor is much the same but with more piney hops than i expected and some grapefruit in the end. medium mouthfeel with average cartbonation and a bitter and dry grapefruity finish that lingers. i was not overly impressed with this beer.

Pours a dirty golden orange. Nose is like christmas extract, just pine and pine and pine. Taste is piny with a harsh bitterness, lots of hop resin, more pine, slight hints of citrus.

Cheers JoeMcphee for this bottle. Nice aroma of hops, caramel and fruit. Stained head with a hazy orange/amber appearance. Strong hoppy taste, little tinny, pine cone finish. Settles to a smooth rich fruity syrup with still that bitter grapefruit finish.

Bottle 33. Amber beer with a huge head. The hops smell is intensive, the flavor are from bitter to very bitter at the finish.

Pours this massively hazy copper color like it is almost muddy. Nice white head with great lacing. Aroma is huge. Smells like orange candy, earthy and strong. It almost tastes like hop tea. Nothing but hops, dirt flavor (earthy) and some bitterness. Not sure if I have the placed as a best for me yet. Very interesting though.

On tap at Rattle n Hum. One of the best doubl IPAs I’ve ever had. Golden copper hue with a medium head. Nose is all hops. Flavor is all hops as well, and the most notable flavor is of pine. At once bitter and sweet. Delicious. Beautiful. Finish is somewhat dry and lip-smacking. Excellent.
