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),

Bottle from Beers of the world. Red copper with a huge creamy off-white head. Great retention and lacing. Aroma is very citrusy and piny, with caramel, vanilla and sugar. Flavor is bitter with a lot of citrus, pine resin, caramel, biscuit and a bit of alcohol. Full body with a sticky mouthfeel. Very good double IPA.

Real nice frothy head that is retained throughout. From start to finish there is a dominating piney hop bitterness and long lasting thereafter. There is also an edge of grassy wheat Saison like flavor. A definite bite to this one, but not quite as drinkable as I would have preferred. Not too complex, just an onslaught of sticky hop flavor and alcohol.

Pours a reddish copper color with a beautiful two finger head. Absolutely glorious aroma of pine resin and malt with a hell of a lot of citrus. The taste is, not to sound gay, absolutely fabulous. My goodness is that nice. Malt, pine and some pineapple/mango flavors dominate and make the world a wonderful place to be. Palate is slick and oily, and smooth th entire way down. Why did I not buy more of this.

Pours a murky red/gold with little head leaving a crown. Smells fruity with the obvious simcoe scent dominating. Tastes pretty similar to the nose, let me put it this way, it’s an accurate name and a very good IPA, straying toward the other end as the DFH IPAs. Mouth is medium with medium carbonation. Would have this one again since I can’t get that many decent DIPAs here.

Bottle at DD Peckers Wings in Charleston SC. A great double IPA! Went well with the hot wings. Agree with islay below on most except the cat urine part LOL.

12 oz. bottle. Strong, oily, sharp, salty, sea-like aroma features iodine, pine, and, yes, a hint of cat urine (but not in a bad way). The aroma also is sweet and fruity, with lemon and peach scents. Pours a mostly clear copper with a small amount of effervescence and suspended particulate. Moderate to large amount of of even, creamy, taupe, very appealing head. Produces great lacing. Very good appearance, almost meriting a 5. The taste is quite btter, very hoppy, and really good. It’s not very complex, but I appreciate a good hop wallop. Quite sweet, featuring brown sugar, but the hops definitely dominate. Long, dry finish and aftertaste. Full body. Oily and smooth in the palate with a good amount of liveliness. Excellent palate. Double Simcoe IPA could stand to be a tad more complex, but it is strident, strong, and stubborn in its simplicity.

Pours golden apaque with a large white head. Aroma of citrus fruit and hops.. Starts with hops and moves in to a sweet note finishing tart. All and all this is a great beer leaving you with a dry mouth and wanting more.
