COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Hoppier, maltier and with more alcohol than a standard IPA, Hercules Double IPA definitely is not for the faint of heart. Hercules Double IPA is, however, an elixir fit for the gods. A brash but creamy wonder, Hercules pours a deep orange-coppery color, forming substantial lace in the glass. Hercules Double IPA delivers a huge amount of piney, floral, and citrusy hop aroma and flavor from start to finish. A hefty backbone of nutty, toffee-like malt character balances Hercules’ aggressive, punchy hop profile. 85 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Pours Rich cloudy orange. Aroma of piney resinous hops, some dark fruits and some caramel in the back. Flavour largely the same but also includes floral notes. Full flavour, full bodied, lots of depth. Gorgeous.

Malty and Hoppy. This is a creamy delite of hops balanced against the caramel malts. Lovely beer. Looks good, smells good. I usually like citrus on my IPA’s and this one really does not go there but the malts provide the balance. Wonderful beer from a filled growler at my local JI Piggly Wiggly. Gotta love getting 64oz of heaven from a grocery store.

Pours golden-amber with nice rich head; mesh of citrus-pine hops and malt; taste is also a well-balanced example of hoppy IPA; smooth mouthfeel with rich body, nice brew!

Benjii (2410) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - APR 13, 2012
In bottle at home. Pours a dark golden colour with a fair beige head. A lovely aroma of pine and floral hop characters. Similar upfront pine and pineapple flavours with alcohol fairly present and warming in the linger. A nice nutty, caramel malt backbone means the alcohol doesn’t overpower. Great bitterness. A very tasty beer.

This seemed like a double ipa version of fat tire. Same sort of roasted nut taste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
