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),

Cheers JoeMcphee for this bottle. Nice aroma of hops, caramel and fruit. Stained head with a hazy orange/amber appearance. Strong hoppy taste, little tinny, pine cone finish. Settles to a smooth rich fruity syrup with still that bitter grapefruit finish.

Bottle 33. Amber beer with a huge head. The hops smell is intensive, the flavor are from bitter to very bitter at the finish.

Pours this massively hazy copper color like it is almost muddy. Nice white head with great lacing. Aroma is huge. Smells like orange candy, earthy and strong. It almost tastes like hop tea. Nothing but hops, dirt flavor (earthy) and some bitterness. Not sure if I have the placed as a best for me yet. Very interesting though.

On tap at Rattle n Hum. One of the best doubl IPAs I’ve ever had. Golden copper hue with a medium head. Nose is all hops. Flavor is all hops as well, and the most notable flavor is of pine. At once bitter and sweet. Delicious. Beautiful. Finish is somewhat dry and lip-smacking. Excellent.

Bottle. A very interesting rather cloudy brownish copper color. Has a significant off-white head. A hint of citrus. Quite a quality IPA.

Bottle. Poured a hazy light copper. Big hoppy nose with a hint of sweetness. Big chewy hop mouthful with lots of sweet and bitter hops. Huge bitter finish.

Split this 22oz bottle with a friend. Weyerbacher has some really strange label art. Anyway, this one was a nice dark orange in color. The smell was tropical fruit, mostly pineapples. The taste was citrus, pineapple, pinecone, and other fruits. This was a really good beer that I wish I could buy locally. It might also be nice if the ABV was a little lower.

Bomber share out on the patio at Flossmoor Station’s Oktoberfest celebration. Poured a deep, orangy amber with an off white, frothy head and clingy, ribbony lacing. The aroma was a fleeting hint of litter box, resin, and bright citrus as white grapefruit. Smooth malt was present in the flavor to stabilize, but the hops got the upper hand, leaving a potent bitterness on the tongue. An excellent DIPA
