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),

Draught at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours out a dark amber body with a thick, creamy head that has excellent retention. Thick cobweb lacing adorns the glass once the head fades. Great looking beer. Nose is all hops to start, tons of citrus, pine, bitter goodness, with a very slight caramel malt undertone. Flavor profile expands on what the aroma brings, everything is fresh and juicy, damn this is a good beer. Love the amount of hop resin that coats the tongue with each sip. Bitterness wells in the back of the throat but never becomes overpowering. Just a crazy amount of citrus and pine in every aspect of this beer, and I love it. One of my favorite Double IPA’s to date. Awesome.

Pours a nice copper color with an off white head. Aroma is very citrusy like lots of grapefruits. Flavor is really biting bitterness and citrusy, not not too earthy.

Copper to amber in color with a thick head of white bubbles. The nose is filled to with grapefruit and some herbal hops along with a touch of balancing caramel. In the mouth it was balanced in the midpalate with some malt which even continues into the finish.

Bottle. Amber verging on copper body, with a fluffy cream head, leaves some nice lacing on the glass. Huge citrus hop aroma, on top of mango. Tastes of some tropical fruit, citrus hops, your whole mouth becomes enveloped in bitter, some touches of sweet malt, a little ashy at the end. Enjoyable, crushing citrus hops through out!

A good double IPA! This draft has a creamy head and a sweet citrus aroma. There is a hint of caramel prune and grape in the taste and it finishes with some earthy bitterness.

Murky brown-orange pour with beige head, aroma is heavy hops very pine like with citrus and well more hops. This has a awesome smooth flavor, although the hops are strong in the aroma the flavor is very subtle and not overly hopy and bitter, also there are a balanced amount of malts that offset the flavor from being bitter, i find most double IPA’s give me heartburn but this one is perfect for me. I highly recommend this for everyone!

pours a a dark ice tea brown with a good sized white head that seems to be lasting. aroma is a great amount of citrus hops grat fresh grapefruit nose and a good amount of gooey caramel. flavour is a brst of bitter grapefruit hops, flavour resembles the pith and rind. very little malt to go along with the hops, the finish is very bitter hops again with more of an earthy pine flavour not to bad at all would like a little bit more malt.

12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. A deep, hazy amber liquid pours with a one inch off-white head. Sweet malty nose with lots of citrus character. Very sweet caramel flavor with some bitter citrus and pine notes. Too sweet, cloying, full bodied, lots of alcoholic warmth. It is drinkable but I prefer a drier IPA.
