Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

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

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a yellow beige creamy head leaving a thick lace. The aroma is huge fruit and pine along with moderately sweet caramel. The flavor is big pine and grapefruit with a hint of peach. There is a good amount of caramel malt sweetness. The finish is bitter. Alcohol is present, but not distracting. Thick body.

Deep dark orange amber with long-lasting white foamy head and very pretty lacing. Smells like hop juice and powerful citrus with lots of orange and pomello. Lovely. Good palate, on the thick side but not too much so. Powerful masculinity in this one, nice!

12oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber with a smallish head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt and piney resiny hops. Flavor begins malty sweet with a burst of citrus. This leads to some serious pine resin hop bitterness. The finnish is long and dry! This isn’t the biggest DIPA around, sort of a tweener to me, not enough punch and/or a big enough mouthfeel to really qualify as a double, but bigger than an IPA. Solid!

Pours a beautiful honey gold that’s fairly clear with a small off-white head that lingers around the edges. Aroma is fantastic, full of hops that give the impression of a honey comb in a flowering pine tree. Sweet and citrusy but a little herbal. Initial taste is very full and creamy. Heavy malts for an IPA. The sweetness isn’t too powerful at all, but it still manages to balance the excellent hop finish. The finish isn’t too bitter and glides away smoothly. Definitely leaves you wanting another sip.

A- Pours a beautiful reddish orange with quite a bit of carbonation bubbles present. Huge, fluffy eggshell head which fades to tons of lacing. One of my favorite looking DIPAs yet. S- Smell is subtle sweet maltiness with the slightest hint of piney hops. T- Taste starts off with a bit of hoppiness and moves on to a thick malt flavor which fades to a grapefruit bitterness. Absolutely great balance. Not too hoppy, but it will please hop heads out there. M- Fairly viscous and well carbonated. A bit of resiny stuff sticks around in the mouth but its to be expected. D- For 9% this is very drinkable. One of my favorite DIPAs to date. Absolutely excellently balanced with a grapefruit bitterness at the end that is bound to make you smile.

bottle. orange/copper pour with frothy head and awesome lacing. nice large hop aroma and great malts. meaty aroma. amazing! Great piney hops. bitterness hits you up front and lingers while sweet rich caramel smooths it out. rich, hoppy, balanced and drinkable.

Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA is excellent. It is definitly one of my favorites.

Thanks to SurlySober for bringing this to WI in his wooden leg from a visit to VA. It was quite a nice beer, with a very piney hop presence. This beer had a brassy clear body with some nice head formation. Smell was very hoppy, but smooth around the edges. It was mostly piney and a bit sweet, but the pine was very pronounced...maybe a bit cedar-y in aroma also. Flavor was nice and smooth up-front, with some piney-resiny flavor and a substantial body which seemed almost oat-y in flavor to me. Mouthfeel was smooth and quite nice. This is a very good beer; I would highly recommend it. SurlySober, Flyer and I split this, New Holland Night Tripper, Ten Fidy, and some Central Waters Coffee Stout, all of which were quite good.
