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),

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.

On tap at the Oldsmar Tap House on 6/21/08. Pours a dark amber color with a white bubbly one-finger head. Head settles slowly. Aroma is strongly of citrus, grapefruit, hops, grass. Flavor is much the same with strong notes of citrus, grapefruit, and hops with a bitter finish. Tastes very similar to DFH 90 minute IPA to us.

Bottle. Super hoppy nose, grassy and piny with lesser citrus and grapefruit. Clear dark copper-orange pour with a pretty soapy lacing beige head. High alpha acid levels with a taste similar to the nose, only sweeter. Caramel and resin. Hop-centric and hefty (though not boozy), full-bodied and heavy with some dark, almost tarry notes. Thick and chewy malt. Strongly bitter but not off-putting. Superb rendition.

Very hoppy IPA--borderline grapefruity, but not overpowering. Crisp palate with hints of pear and grapefruit noticeable. On draft at Oldsmar Tap House.

Hazy amber, nice frothy head, with big floral-citrus aroma. Pretty good flavor balance and a lasting bitter aftertaste. Quite enjoyable.

12 oz. bottle. A solid DIPA. Nothing special, nothing bad, smooth, tasty, hoppy, refreshing, hoppy. I liked it.

I dig this brew. Amber with thin white head. Great hoppy aroma and really clean flavor. Malty only to support the hop flavor. Always a treat. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008
