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),

12 oz bottle. Trade with TheEpeeist. Thanks a lot. Pours slightly unclear orange with a creamy white head & lacings. Aroma is of fruity & bitter hops. Lots of pine, grapefruit & soap. Very mild sweet touch. Sticky & good smooth palate. Crisp & ends very dry & bitter! Lovely!

Great. Extremely smooth and drinkable for such a strong beer. Flavor is excellent and complex. Citrus and grapefruit hops throughout ending in a lightly bitter finish. Very full flavored. Medium bodied. Flavor is not especially bitter.

Courtesy of funknmilla. Pours copper with a thin white head. smells on signature simcoe goodness with some nice pine and crisp dry spicy hints. Tastes slightly bitter and a bit on the swet side (in Weyerbacher fashion). With a resiny finish. Decent.

12oz. Bottle. Coppery orange and slightly cloudy with a medium lacy white head. Nose is strongly citrus oriented with grapefruit and orange peel. Bitterness is the initial flavor, but is balanced nicely by pine and citrus. Body has a mildly creamy texture and is sticky and resinous on the tongue. Beer ends pretty much where it began, lots of hops and a touch of sweetness. Alcohol remains well hidden throughout. Nice to see a IIPA that showcases a single hop.

aroma is wonderful (if you like hops). I had some simcoe hops when I poured this so I did a side-by-side, and the beer smelled better than the hops! Appearance is a little darker and cloudier than I expected. Flavor is remarkably smooth. A very nice balance of hops and malt. A very nice beer.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a light copper color with a decent head that sticks around for a good long time. Aromas of dank, sticky freshly cut pine trees. Flavors start with aggressive bitterness, then a load of grapefruit and sticky resin. Not much malt flavor- the simcoe hops dominate this one. Somewhat sticky and thick on the palate. An interesting and unique DIPA, but not one I’d drink on a regular basis.

Pours clear orange with off white head. Strong citrus aromas of grapefruit and orange. Big grapefruity flavor with some malt to back it up. Flavor was a litttle disappointing after smelling the great aromas. Medium body with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A good DIPA, but not one of my favorites, There is something about the Weyerbacher beers that just doesn’t appeal to me.
