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),

Absolutely the finest of the Weyerbacher products. Double Simcoe IPA is absolutely decadent. It’s aromatic with malty notes, hop notes, even like a banana smell. It’s appearance is a carmel color and it’s nice on top with adequate head. It’s flavor is outstanding with malty and hop goodness again with complexity that also has notes of banana and perhaps pine. This mouth feel is amazingly smooth no astringency at all. This is an amazing concoction.

Cloudy orange amber with nice sticky lacing. More doughy than I expected in the smell - with some nice hops in there too. Nice flavor of honey and hops - a good combo. Thick creamy palate. Alcohol rears its ugly head near the finish - but a great brew other than that.

Bottled. Great DIPA. Big bubbles of carbonation putting a white head ontop of the amber pour. Sweet piney hops aroma. Flavour of ruby red grapefruit. Smooth drinkability. Very light, floating sediment.

bottle at Fort Wayne tasting - Pours copper with a big white head. It has a pleasant grapefruit hop aroma. The flavor, as one should expect with this style, is intensely bitter and continues through to a long, hoppy finish. It’s an excellent beer though not the best double IPA I’ve had.

This bottle from emacgee
Pours cloudy caramel to maroon colored. Medium lasting beige head. Looks nice. Smell is mildly hoppy but mild for what I expected. Tea and caramel aside from the simcoe hops. Taste is simcoe hops obviously which are musty, dirty, earthy and I can see why they describe simcoe as smelling like cat piss. Alcohol is evident as in every Weyerbacher beer. Apparently they have a hard time hiding the alcohol in their beers... There is nothing citrusy or grapefruity about this beer. It’s the polar opposite of a citrusy, clean beer, as the commercial description states. Decent, but not my favorite.

Bottle: Courtesy jsquire I believe. Dark copper color with a small cream head. Sweet caramel malts, floral hops and candied sugar all meld together quite well without one domineering over the others. Full bodied, creamy mouth feel. This stuff was fantastic, the sweet malt balances out the floral and piney hops perfectly...some citrus notes are present as well but seem to take a supporting role in this one. Very smooth finish.
