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),

Crushed with Jakebra, thanks to Honkeybra. Very nice aroma of hops, and caramel malts at the same time. Flavor isnt quite what the aroma was, but still an above average DIPA. Thanks, Honkey. Dug it.

16 ounce sample on tap at World of Beer in Tampa, FL. Aroma is full of hempy, piney, lightly catty simcoe hoppiness. Slightly sweet. Hazy orange body with a medium off-yellow head and nice lacing. Sticky, sweet, chewy citrus hop flavors to start. Becomes a bit astringent and acidic. Finishes with a little more sweetness and some bitter hop and ethanol kick. This beer doesn’t really seem to come together. Still decent, though.

Pours a clear honey yellow with thick white head. Aroma is woodsy metallic yet floral/banana undertones. Flavor is creamy pine that is offset by floral notes. Body is light but creamy with high carbonation.

Tulip from bottle. Thick opaque red/tan color from the bottle, with a thick soapy light tan head. Unique bitter citrus aroma, pink grapefruit, tangerine, mandarin, some floral hints. Bubbly character in the nose. Bitter boozy flavor, warm with citrus named above, adding some lemon hints. Bitey foamy palate, with a velvety finish. Great double IPA.

Thanks to jah noth for the bottle! 22oz bomber pours a slightly hazy goldish orange with a nice off white head. Aromas of citrus, grapefruit, and resin. Flavors are very much the same, hoppy, citrusy goodness.

Amber pour with a big old sticky white head. Big spicey, fresh, vegetable hop aroma. Flavor is huge on the hops, or hop, i guess. Kind of cool to try Simcoe on display like this, and who knew it was copywritten? Really awesome, tasty IPA.

Very sweet spicy floral hop aroma. Slight malt sweetness, but mostly a refined hop spice/sweetness. The flavor is warming bitterness, more of a spicy hop than a bitter hop, and it follows with a nice full mouthfeel that lingers on the tongue. Nice to be able to pick up a 4 pack at the local grocery store.

pours hazy burnt orange sienna with a thick fluffy tan head. overwhelming nose of grapefruit, resin, pine, and bubblegum. flavor is kinda like drinking unsweetened grapefruit juice. light lemon zest. malty backing. aftertaste is citrus, malt, light cereal. powerful brew...pretty awesome!
