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.

Bottle. Poured orange/amber with a medium head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits and pine. Taste was tangy citrus and a fair malt backbone. Alcohol was well hidden, but the warmth was there. Nicely bitter finish. Full(-) bodied. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be ’tangy’.

Bottle. Great smells of caramel, pine, perfume, and beef broth were easily noticable with hints of prune, pineapple, pear and a slight winey note. Black pepper followed after it warmed a bit. It had a creamy head, good lacing and it had a unique orange color to it. Taste started off moderately sweet and finished both slightly sweet and acidic. It had a medium body, oily texture and a nice soft carbonation. It’s remarkable aroma makes this beer a re-do.

Pours cloudy with a tan head. Smells of perfume, wildflowers, yogurt and spices. Tastes of sweet oranges, roses and sweet malt.

At long last, an IPA with a strong sweet malty backbone. The malt brings the hop character down to densely-flavored Fuggles level. The balance on this is approximately as gorgeous as its big fluffy protruding head. Then there’s the velvety smooth (even if somehwat thick-syrupy) finish. Ridiculously drinkable. Thanks, I’ll have more!

Had on tap at brew pub in a sampler. Poured a copper color, clear...Tasted grapefruit, carmel, and peaches up front. Very sweet at first finishing bitter. I liked this beer.

12 oz bottle, bottled 12/13/06, poured 2/17/07. Served at about 55 degrees. Poured a light, copper brown with a medium tan head that was gone shortly after the pour. Smells piney, slightly floral, with a sweet malty backbone. Has a thick, creamy mouthfeel, with good, unyeilding carbonation. Tastes of hops, very bitter, good strong malt character. Alcohol is hidden pretty well, but still detectable. Hops linger on the tongue for a few minutes before fading. Very very tasty

Bottle. Copper color with a white head. Aroma is very hoppy with some sweet citrus in there as well. Taste is very hoppy and bitter but well rounded and balanced. A very impressive and flavorful beer.

Pours a light amber color with a hazy body, crowned by a fizzy, off-white head. Mostly diminishing head with good lacing. Aroma is of citrusy, orange and pineapple hops. Harsh sweet initial taste, which reminds Ian of drinking the juice right out of a can of pineapple slices. Taste moves to a light bitter finish, but it is overcome by the sweet beginning. Medium on the palate, it has an oily/creamy texture and soft carbonation. Reviewed on December 18th, 2006.
