Stoudts Double IPA

12 oz bottle. Pours a bright, darker shade of orange. Sweet and fruity hopped aroma, but not overpowering. A good IPA

Rather disappointed by this one. Clear light gold like colored water, taste was ok. Light white head, not alot of flavor....kinda weak on smell.

Had alongside an ’07 and ’08 bottle of Dogfishead 90 minute, and it just couldn’t compare. Not big enough in malt or hops to compare to the really good dipas/imperials.

Bottle. Pours golden with a large, fluffy head. The aroma and flavor is that of sweet, citrus hops with a nice malty backbone. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. This imperial IPA isn’t one of those extremely bitter brews, but rather a very well-rounded one.

Would get this again...a real firecracker. Sweet and hoppy IPA. Good alcohol content. Aroma and color - nothing in particular stands out, just amber-like and floral-smelling. Little head. Just a solid imperial IPA.

Bottle sample at the Columbus Alefest on 6/27/09. Clear gold pour with a big off-white head. Orangy hop aroma with some bready malt. Malty flavor up front with a touch of alcohol and a bunch of orangy hops in the finish.

12 oz. bottle. on the small side white fizzy head (quickly and almost fully dissapating) into clear copper body. aromas of moderate hops and some malts (actually not as biting as I was anticipating) although the alochol is present (not overpresent). flavor-initially light-mod bittersweet. finishes- light to moderate bitter. Not the best Double IPA but also not the worst.

Nice dark amber with a large foamy head. Aroma is hops. Flavor starts sweet and ends bitter. Very dry finish.
