Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

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

On tap at rattle n hum. Sweet grapefruit, vivid flowers, and old spice aroma... Awesome! Taste is outstanding as well, I can’t believe I went so long without trying this badboy. Flavors are tang Grapefruit, bitter tree sap and pine. Finishes long. Execellent ipa

Beautiful pour and aroma. While pouring this bomber I had visions of shaking my head savagely with my nose burried in 2 handfulls of hops as if they were gigantic stripper boobies. Flavor was somewhat overpowering for a beginner such as myself, but by the time I finished this I was loving it. The 9% alc/vol is masked well by the ridiculously delicious hoppy flavor.

(bomber). Cloudy brownish copper color. Large, rocky off-white head. Pine hop aroma. Strong hop and alcohol flavor. Avg duration. Slightly astringent finish. Slick texture. Soft to moderate carbonation. Good lacing.

Thick and rich and great to try single varietal hops. 4 pack for $12. guess it was fresh. big texture like younger and also doesn’t go sweet like it seems like it might. ok complexity but it’s just the 1 hop. learning experience. if this was available locally it would be in the rotation for sure.

12 ounce bottle: I like the simcoe hops, has a citrus taste to it. The after taste is a little too bitter for me but over all a good beer.

pours a dark orange color with an orangy head. It has a syrupy aroma of tropical fruit, peach, caramel, and toffee. The flavor is very sweet and thick with caramel, toffee, peach primarily. There’s an overpowering piney finish that surprises me after such a sweet beginning. Inky almost. A good beer, but my palate was a little overpowered.

Bottle courtesy of Eithcubes. Elegant pour. Average sized, dense, creamy, ultra fine tan head. Fairly hazy, deep amber body. Aroma is like a handful of hops...no, like burying your head in a bag of hops. Big Simcoe flavor - pine, citrus and some tropical fruit/mango. Zero malt aroma, but the hops are supposed the be the showcase here. Huge hop flavor. More pine and the aforementioned fruit - both come through in spades. Chewy caramel malt provides the requisite sweetness so that the hops can really shine through. Though the flavors are big, they don’t shred aggressively like some DIPAs. Full bodied, average carbonation, lightly sticky palate. Fairly sweet up front, but it dries out considerably. Big bitter (though not harsh) hop finish. Overall an excellent DIPA - I wish more could be like tihs. I’m usually not a big fan of the style, as I find it very sloppy and generically big...but this beer is a treat and exemplifies what more DIPAs should strive for. Love the showcase of a single hop, as well!

Poured orange with a good size off white head. Smells sweet with hops and spices. Tastes bitter like liking an old rusty piece of metal. Somewhat sweet between the initial flavor of metal and the finish. Very average, and I love hops. The problem here is the hops are too one dimensional, and the beer lacks real flavor. I felt like it just tried to overload me with IBUs. The more I drink this the more it feels like my tongue is being dragged over pavement.
