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),

Poured a pretty rich amber color into a pint glass. Thick, creamy head which slowly dissipated, leaving nice sticky lacing. No doubt about the hops in this beer. Strong hoppiness with a slightly sweet smell in the background. The hops hit quick and hard, with a bitter slam, but they quickly pass though leaving behind a mild, fresh sweetness. I am surprised at how quickly the flavors pass, leaving just a trace of hops behind, but also making this beer deceptively easy to drink. Overall, this beer lived up and even surpassed my expectations. IThis beer is scarily drinkable, but be careful with the high ABV.

This beer got me buzzed right away. Pours amber body with a giant white head. Citrus start to finish with plenty of sweet grapefruit flavors. Extra hoppy, plenty of floral character and a soft caramel finish.

Pours cloudy light amber with about an inch thick head. The aroma is killer, PINE dominates, cirtus. Flavor is bitter hops dominate but they warned you. Mouthfeel is pretty thick. This is the smoothest weyerbacher I’ve had, the alcohol is well hidden by the dominating bitterness. Not bad.

Hoppy is the word. A lot of it. Color is golden, hints of orange peel. Thick head, light taste, smooth on the palate. Lagunitas Maximus comes to mind for hoppiness.

pours a copper/golden amber... looks like oolong tea. smells of pine and pineapple-citrus. perfectly bubbly with constant bubbles at the surface. tastes strongly of white grapefruit with certain piney notes. thick and syrupy and extremely bitter. the bitterness hits you about halfway through and stays in your mouth for quite a while. while the bottles are pricey, they are certainly worth it. take your time and really enjoy this one. but, you won’t taste much of anything else after you finish it, your tastebuds will be down for the count, if not the rest of you!

bottle form liquorloft tallahassee. poured a cloudy dark amber. powerful aroma of fresh pine and grapefruit peel. the taste is extremely hoppy, pine, earthy resin much like dirt, grapefruit. the taste is oily and thick with some sweet english ipa style malt to back it up and a long bitter finish.

First had this at the media brewfest at iron hill and then again in bottle form. Perfect for a warm day or a breezy summer night like tonight. Double simcoe is a deep cloudy red amber with a nice head and a beautiful cascade. It has an excellent bouquet full of caramel and citrus notes, with a good mouth feel and full of sweet belgian beer type flavors with a nice hops back. Very tasty and very refreshing. It hides its alcohol well.
