Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

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

This IPA has a golden orange color but lacked the cloudy haze I usually associate with great IPAs. The flavor was quite strong: an overload of pine and resin, a hint of grapefruit with a very bitter finish. The beer got better about half way through but it always left a sour taste in my mouth. The aroma, however, was excellent and I give this beer props for complexity. I think cascade hops are my hop of choice.

Pours a dark amber color with a thin white head. You can tell this baby is potent just by it’s color. Smells citrusy and piney and grassy. Just like a radical IPA should smell. Love those hops in the flavor. This IPA is bitter but it does have a sweetness to the aftertaste. Palate is pretty standard for me. Not too thick for a big IPA but it does have a little body to it. This baby would be tough to drink too much of. I love a bitter IPA but couldn’t hang with this baby all night.

id have to say that was a nice double IPA, pours a good amber orange color, not a ton of head, nose is malty with good pine and some resin. Flavor has similar notes more grapefruit with some decent malt there in the background, well balanced, didn’t notice the hops too much. Well done beer.

I got this beer to familiarize myself with the simcoe hop better. While it is not bad, I am not a fan overall. It pours a dark amber reddish color with a nice thick white head. There are visible flecks floating in the beer and it has a generally cloudy character. The aroma is sweet, piney, and decently malty. I like citrusy hops more, but it isn’t bad. This is a pretty bitter beer overall but with a quick blast of intense sweetness. The pine flavor is there, but not as strong as in the aroma. Overall, there isn’t much of a flavor profile. It has good body although I won’t seek this one out again. Simcoe is not among my favorite hops.

Cloudy amber color; big thick head; nice lace. Beautiful aroma, hoppy, fruity, with sweet resins. Good body strength, powerful malt, sweet, with an extreme but very good hopping, aromatic, fruity (orange peels), resiny; ends with an impression of rhubarb. And of course the final is very long. Excellent.

This copper ale with tan foam is a robust beer full of chewy hoppiness and enough malt to almost balance but the scales still tip to the hop side.The Simcoe aroma is incredible loads of grapefruity tangerine piney almost catty .Some malt sweetness is discernible but not prevalent.My favorite from Weyerbacher

22oz - Golden liquid under nice thick tan head. Citrus on the nose, bitter blast of hops on plalate. This is a hop monster for sure.

Pours a nice thick head of very tan microbubbles into a tulip glass, giving a mildly opaque amber color to the beer. The aroma is pungent hops and caramel and the taste is mildly bitter with a decent mouthfeel and a hint of syruppy sweetness. This is a wonderful IPA to say the least.
