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),

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.

pours a clear amber, frothy off-white head atop with concentrations around the edges. That glorious simcoe nose, honeydew and hop crystals, chamomile, and lime zest. What a fucking aroma hop, man! Bitter, dry, spicy, earthy...What a fucking flavoring hop, man!...What a fucking bittering hop, man!. The malts behind are balancing, not syrupy or cumbersome in any way, shape, or form. This beer is thicker and significantly more malty than Mikellars regular simcoe IPA, but this is 9% alcohol...and i think, even with the extra malty boost, the simcoe characteristics still are showcased with great craftsmanship..grapefruit, spicey, floral....maybe a bit of a musty basement character at times, but not enough to distract. Can you even go wrong with simcoe? Can you? I brewed an all simcoe IPA 2 weeks ago, im hella excited....

Bottle. Pours hazy brown with a minute head. Aroma is of honey, citrus, and a hint of berries. Flavor starts off soft then builds up. Possibly the only distinguishable flavor that manages to show through the powerful burs of hops is that of caramel. Leaves a long lasting very bittery finish (I can outline exactly where the taste buds for bitterness lie on my tongue), very nice though. Overall, I am very impressed with this brew.
