Commercial Description:
Fast on the heels of our fantasticly reformulated Hops Infusion, our brewers have picked up the gauntlet and brewed a Double IPA using exclusively Simcoe(R) Hops! This west coast Hops was created in 2000 by Select Botanicals, Inc. and carries a fantastic flavor profile abounding with citrusy-grapefruit, piney, resiny notes that pushes this Double IPA over the top. 9.0% ABV in the brew gives it a nice malt foundation as well. Draft and bottles, 12 oz. in PA, 22 oz. out of state (as we have no 6-packs),

750 ml. dark crystal, harsh bitter, and alcohol bite. some citrus and pine aroma but the bitter basically knocks your tastebuds out. the dark crystal dominates. i prefer the flavor and aroma hops to be showcased. not bad but not my favorite. tried hop stoopid a few days prior and enjoyed it much more... and it was 3 dollars less!

Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit and light pine aroma. Nice grapefruit and pine flavor with backing caramel. Medium-plus bodied. Caramel, grapefruit and pine linger. Nice bitterness. A bit too much caramel and so could use a bit more bitterness for an IIPA. Very nice, but also somehow just missing something.

Cloudy orange pour with white lacing. Hoppy, spice, pine in the aroma with notes of malts. SImilar taste. Pretty smooth for 9% I like!

12 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Dark orange pour with a thick, creamy white head. Intense hop aroma of pine, grass, and citrus. Powerful upfront grapefruit and pine flavor with a balanced, smooth finish. Very nicely done. A fantastic DIPA.

Pours a hazy red-copper color with a small head. Aroma is earthy and sweet with caramel. Taste is caramel and toffee malt backbone plus plenty of hops - grapefruit, pine, and plenty of bite. Alcohol is very-well hidden, and the palate is smooth and full. Low carbonation. Outstanding DIPA, very drinkable and enjoyable.

Nice job on this guy. Smell of caramel keeps pushing toward the front with a fruity tartness following. Mouthfeel is full and rich and lip smacking at the end,very good. Flavor is same as aroma with slight maple syrup maltiness and a bitter finish. Head flavor (the same as the beer but creamy) and retention are awesome and definitely add to the flavor. Thank You Weyerbacher. 2009 12 oz.

Hazy, ruby orange color with a slightly off-white head. Aroma of wet hops, sour malts, and a drop of honey. Flavor is pretty similar, nicely balanced. Great mouthfeel with a lasting hoppy finish.

Pours ruby amber with a beige head. Aroma is berries, vanilla, and hops. Very well balanced with a sweet creamy texture then citrus bitter hop.
