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. Umm...the smells of hops! Bottle, poured into a snifter, nice head (two fingers). Dark amber color. Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Taste of hops and some citrus flavor. This beer is sweet, but still high up on the bitterness scale. Which is a nice change up. This is a good IIPA. ****Update***** This 12oz bottle sat for about six months. Much maltier then I remembered, but still has a nice bitter kick to it. The textue is also a little thicker and smoother then last time. Still sweeter then most DIPA’s. Good brew! Quenched my thirst for hops at 2am Sep 6th 08.

Pours a cloudy rust or amber. Aroma of sour keys, grapefruit and some basic caramel malts. Rich, sweet and roasted malt flavours nearly dominate a crisp hop finish. Moderately bitter and full bodied. Lasting hop finish.

Copper body with of a little foamy off white head. It had of course a lot of hops. The high ABV give it a slight bitter finish.

I had this after a Bell’s Expedition Stout. What a contrast. Great hop aroma. Nice amber color with a big fluffy head. Taste is citrus, pine bitter just right for a Piney like me. Not for the feint of heart

Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of resiny floral and citrus hops with a sweet malt backbone. Taste is the same as aroma with a hint of sweet caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a strong but wel balanced amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Very good.

Awesome double IPA, hazy orange color, lots of sticky lacing left around the glass, aroma full of spicy hops, flowery, grassy & earthy, full-bodied but smooth & creamy texture, flavors full of hops, dry, creamy & spicy, very flavorful & delicious, dry & extremely bitter finish, a real hophead’s delight

Tasted 01Feb2008: The hop aroma is evident the minute the beer is opened. Teh aroma has a piney, wintergreen (?) bouquet with a hint of sweet maltiness. The brew has a deep yellowish-orange (amber) color with an off white/cream color head. A little overcarbonated, but not too overly carbonated. The flavor has a piney, resiney, citrusy balanced with a sweet caramel like maltiness. The finish is oily sweet leaving an aftertaste of bitter hopiness. Perfect balance of malts and hops.

Nice Hoppy aroma.... Golden Brown color.... Sensational hoppy flavor, but without the bitterness.... Highly recommended .... I got to go smash a hockey game, but if you like IPAs, smash this one.... You will love this....
