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.

This beer is an achievement in the field of shitty, over-hopped, poorly balanced american IPAs. Don’t be misled, this beer is VERY hoppy, however this fine american company remembers something that few microbreweries do: AN EXTREMELY HOPPY BEER MUST BE BALANCED BY A SUBSTNTIAL MALTY BACKBONE!!!!! Rememeber that Dogfish Head. And 10% alcohol too. Good for you Stoudts.

Dark copper in color with a nice off white head. Slightly hazy in the glass. Crisp hoppy aromas. Lots of grapefruit, orange, and ctirus rind. A bit of earthy pine and summer florals. Medium in body with a crisp, dry bite to it. Crisp is the key word, not bitter like some lesser DIPAs. Perfectly carbonated. An outstanding beer.

bottle. outstanding IIPA! Stoudts delivers on this one.... very hoppy in character from start to finish. The finish on this one is awesome... pours a deep golden with a thin white head that becomes a perfect lacing. Aromas of hops and pine. Thick body on the back of the tongue full of hops - you can taste the dry hopping. It sticks with you for a while in the finish. Excellent palate overall. The abv is hidden well - was surprised to learn the content... also some notes of apricots to it. Will definitely buy again.

A deep amber pour with an off white head. A hops nose with hints of malt. A rich sweet flavor that is followed by a good bitter. There was just a bit of an off after taste on the first of the beer that kept me from rating it a little higher. Solid palate and carbonation good beer.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Bright clear copper with flat off-white head and some lace. Mild hop aroma with some pine and malt. Well-balanced fruitiness, pine, and mild bitterness. Very smooth for a strong IPA. Full-bodied, medium carbonation. An excellent beer, although I still prefer sessionable IPAs.
