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.

Have been wiating to try a beer of this style for quite some time and this appears to be a great candidate to break the ice. Pours a nearly opaque burnt orange color with a fairly thin cream colored head. The nose is powerful and full of dried apricot, fresh oranges and grapefruit. The flavor is malty and fruity with little bitterness from the hops. The alcohol is present but not at all out of balance with the sweetness of the initial palate offering. Mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, making this a very palatable drink. I enjoyed it very much and would definitely reccomend it to anyone.

Well, I needed something to drink while posting my ratings from this past week, so what better than a Stoudts Double IPA? Truth be told, it was actually the only bottle cold at the moment (that situation has been rectified though!)... Pours a hazy orange color and looks quite thick. There appears to be hop and yeast particles suspended in it, but that won’t stop me; actually it looks quite intruiguing and inviting! Two finger, dense light orange head. Lots of lacing! Aroma is bread, light citrus hops, and even a little woody. Flavor is sweet malt, bitter orange/grapefruit zest, some piney hop bitterness, and alcohol. Warming alcohol sensation comes through in the finish with some sugary sweetness and orangy hop bittterness. Mouthfeel is fairly thick, but smooth and enjoyable. Very good without being too over the top (or too expensive!) 12 oz bottle, $2.13 from River’s Bend.

Bottle. Orange hazy color, off-white head. Aroma is hoppy, soap and grapefruit, as well as malty. Flavor is malty--hint of caramel), and very hoppy, with alcohol in aftertaste. Very good.

copper pour nice dense white head w/ some good lacing. Highly sweat aroma, toffees, breads, and carmels alcohol, not much hop touches of grass. Palate is smooth and well coated. Flavor was very sweet lots of carmels, some toffees a touch of grass a light spice some definate alcohol notes more of a BW than an IIPA.

Amber-orangish brew with large foamy off-white head, but of an orange tint. Tight, detailed lacing. Very malty aroma, bread and citrus notes. Bit of a kick of bitter in the begining, followed by a gentle warming. Alot of bitter, with notes of citrus on the tip of my tongue cmplimented by sweet malt on the back of the tongue. Wow, pretty consistant warming sensation troughout the torso. Definitely something for the cold winter nights.
