Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

Brewed by Weyerbacher Brewing Co.
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Easton, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle thanks to hopscotch. Pours a deep amber color with a large white head and lots of lacing. The aroma is great; loads of sweet pine and citrus hops.The flavor was also great; initially this is quite a hop bomb. The simcoe hope are very full and ripe, like biting a handful or fresh hops. There is also a strong caramel malt that adds balance. Perhaps my favorite aspect is the full and very creamy mouthfeel. Just delicious. If we could get this in Utah I’d be a happy man. I’m proud of my home state for producing such great beer.

12 oz bottle thanks to Mr. Ed! Pours a thicker golden color with almost a light brown tone that extends a bit of a tannish color into the lightly foamy head. Gorgeous coloring for an IPA. Aroma consists mainly of different hops, but mainly a bitter sense to it. The flavor on this is simply Simcoe. It’s really amazing. I wasn’t as blown away as I thought I would be, but it’s HUGE in the bitter department. Starts off fairly shallow with a light malt and once the body kicks in it is bitter, Simcoe, bitter, Simcoe, all the way through the finish. The bitter lingers forever too! Hints of peach and melon are hidden in there throughout as well. The ABV is not really all that detectable either! Good stuff...hope to try a full bottle at some point!

It pours a bright bronze color with a slight cloudiness. The head is nice and thick and a light beige color that leaves lacing all the way down the glass. The smell isn’t as strong as I thought it would be. It has a light, and sweet, hoppy smell to it, not strong and bitter. The taste is fabulous. Not bitter at all, just smooth Simcoe hoppiness. There’s a lot of grapefruit in it, especially the aftertaste. I’ll have the taste of grapefruit in my mouth for an hour. Very enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this beer as it poured a nice golden color with smells effervescing from it that were strictly of hops. Taste was exceptionally smooth for a double IPA. Mouthfeel was silky and pleasant and there was no lingering aftertaste except for a clean hoppy palate.

Bottle 12fl.oz. [ Courtesy of Gazza ]. Clear medium yellow orange color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, heavy hoppy, pine, grapefruit. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very nice ;o)) (260708)

Pours a mahogany/amber color with a large frothy eggwhite head that fades rather quickly, leaving LOTS of sticky lacing. Aroma is some piney hops, grapefruit, and cat piss. Taste is grapefruit, piney bitterness, and caramel malts. Meh, all right.

Pour is a bit too cloudy for my liking, otherwise it’d be a 5, beautiful off-white head. Aroma, pure hops of grapefruit, pine and other various citrus. Flavor is wonderful hops of the pine and grapefruit. Palate is an incredibly creamy, smooth, warm feeling with a nice bitter end. A very impressive brew. Thanks GrbDg!!!

Very attractive beer when poured. Copper in color with brilliant clarity and a head of foam that’s thick, creamy and rocky in appearance. Lace that sticks to the sides of the glass from beginning to end. A very refreshing look. Taste and aroma using only one type of hop, Simcoe, has everything you want in an ipa.Piney aroma. Some floral and citrus notes in the nose also. Goes down very smooth. An oily slick feeling on the palate with piney notes up front and intence grapefruit lingers into the finish. Sweet caramel malt does show up but hops stay ahead throughout but are not overpowering. Very balanced for a double ipa. The last sip you take carries some of the residual hops that settle to the bottom of the glass which takes all the characteristics mentioned above and amplifies it a couple of notches. Which to me isn’t a bad thing at all.
