Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle pours clear deep gold with a monster head and lot of lace. The aroma is honey and hops. The flavor is very hop forward, with some solid sweetness below. Palate is rich and substantial. Overall, this is sweet!

well darn. you know you have got a stellar IPA when you crack open the bottle and it does battle with the yet-to-wither Christmas tree in the front den. IPA 1...Christmas tree 0. pours into clouds of amber-orange confusion, braced for sappy seduction, and levels out a nice fluffy head that would do well caked onto a pecan pie. The brew is hopped all over the place, and has that Two Hearted Ale taste. I would say that if the place was out, I would substitute this brew for ye ol 2 hearts. Anyhow. Very chewy. Some earth tones, crisp and sweet, but not cloyingly. The last part of the brew breaks down a bit. not sure if theyve got it just right to hold it all together. still, not a bad sauce from...East PA..to the tune of Born In East LA of course.

12 oz. bottle - Poured a hazy honey color with medium head. Aroma - Stinky hops and sour milk. Fowl and rotten Flavor - Wow this stuff is nasty. Could not finish this one. Rotten fowl taste, maybe I had a bad bottle?? Palate - astingent hop taste with very strange aftertaste. Like chewing on a Dandelion. Overall - How in the heck does this beer get such a high rating. The first taste gave me that bitter nasty face. Hard to swallow?!?!

Bottle thanks to daknole. I have just enough time to enjoy the blend of pine caramel wafting from the bottle before it becomes a gusher. Hazy orange-brown pour, thick frothy tan head, a solid sheet of lace. Flavor is powerful in terms of coniferous hops, but also carries an unpleasant soapy bitterness. Also a touch of a sulfury off element. Medium bodied, very smooth, frothy mouthfeel.

Bottle. Powerful citrus aroma and malts. Cloudy deep reddish orange body, small off-white head. Somewhat sweet grapefruit and other citrus flavor. Very bitter lingering finish. Impressive and very tasty offering.

Really liked the Simcoe hops in this brew. Very balanced IPA, malty character adding a lot to the taste. Great aroma and taste, only the apperance was average with a dark straw cloudy color.

Bottle. Pours a very hazy yellow orangish color. Medium lingering head, decent lacing. Mmmm. Flavor is big resiny chewy hops, notes of grapefruit and a bit of pine. Sweet malt backbone, a bit of candi sugar. Minor alcohol/pepper finish. Finish is lingering and dry. This is good, real good.

Bottle from Total Wine. Pours a nice one-inch tann-ish head, displaying an amber body with orange hues. The aroma is apparent immediately upon cracking the bottle and is citrusy and herbal with subtle honey. Flavor and mouthfeel is bitter all around with grassy, resinous hops. Citrus appears upfront with a hint of pineapple. Soft carbonation and medium/full body. This is an enjoyable IPA and well-balanced.
