Commercial Description:
Stoudt's Double IPA is a strong, full-bodied ale with an intense hop character and deep golden color. This unusual brew is characteristic of the newly recognized style of extremely hoppy and malty ales of American origin. The Double IPA is our strongest beer with an alcohol of over 10% abv and bitterness of more than 75 IBU's. Multiple kettle hop additions and generous dry hopping contribute to the powerful yet smooth and fragrant hop character of this beer. 10% abv.

Thanks to OldStyleCubFan for this! Pours gold with malty citrus like aroma. Big malty back-bone with some citrus hoppiness.

Pours orange with some off-white head. Aroma of pale and caramel malts and some citrus hoppiness. Nice bit of citrus in the flavor complimented by some earlthy dry-hopping, mango, caramel and pale malts. Palate is oily, sticky, and fairly thick. Not bad, not great.

Pours a thick orange, not much head at all. Aroma is mild citrus. Strong hops flavor comes through, felt a bit thinner than it looked. Alcohol is well masked. A good but not great double IPA.

Amber poor with nice head. Blueberry flavor with hop finish kind of strange but I enjoyed it.

Jan. 2007 - My favorite flavor in a beer is probably caramel malts. I also love a strong flavor. This beer was abundant in both, but what a mess. Incredibly sweet...repulsively so. Strangely, mellowed out a bit as it warmed, but not enough. Oh yeah, beautiful orange color, nice head and lacing. Other flavors were sweet fruits (apricots?), noticeable alcohol and fruity hops (grapefruit and others). Just too freaking sweet.

Pours a caramel-orange color with a very small head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma of sweet ruby red grapefruit with some brown sugar. A citrus rind bitterness with a nice balance of caramel and honey flavor. Good texture with a bit of an oily feel. Very drinkable for the high abv...

12 oz bottle. Lots of piny citrus business up in your nose from the start. A bit of alcohol is visible in the flavors. Different fruity flavors blend in the lemon citrusy aspect of this one. Quite bitter and bitter lasting towards the end. Fairly carbonated. Good stuff.

12-oz. Medium amber caramel body with bright carbonation and a thin, light gray filmy head. Buttery mango and pineapple nose. Medium body with very present carb. Biscuity and mango-y mid-palate. Mild biscuity finish. Good stuff.
