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),

Bottle at Dayton Ale Fest. Pours a nice copper color with a thin white head. Aroma is strong with citrus hops and a bit of sweet malts. Notes of grass, mango, grapefruit, and lemmon come out. On the palate it is crisp and refreshing. The flavor brings the malts forward a little, but really brings out a nice bitterness that goes through to the finish. I liked this one, but not my favorite Simcoe Hop beer.

12 oz bottle served in Dogfish Head pint glass. Cloudy honey color with a thin off-white head, and light carbonation. Pine and pepper hop aromas over an iced tea backdrop. Creamy mouthfeel finishes a bit watery. Peppery with some sweetness up front, then pine flavors take over. The ABV is well-hidden. A single-sided IPA, but most excellent! I could drink this until gravity took over....

This DIPA showed a cream yellowish mostly persistence head with an astounding hops, pine and lemongrass aroma. We are talking about the undisputed viscose brew with a remarkable taste of citrus, bitter mellow hops, and lots of happiness. Respect Simcoe hops a unique American hybrid.

I’ve been wanting to try this for quite some time. Luckily I was able to find this down in Madison at Woodman’s. Copper pour. Average white long lasting head. Floral hopiness. Reall nice and intense aroma of citrus and grapefruit. Quite bitter, and quite good. Not as sweet as many in this style. I love the label and the beer is worth the hype behind it. My first knock it out of the ballpark beer from Weyerbacher.

Bottle from Beers of the world. Red copper with a huge creamy off-white head. Great retention and lacing. Aroma is very citrusy and piny, with caramel, vanilla and sugar. Flavor is bitter with a lot of citrus, pine resin, caramel, biscuit and a bit of alcohol. Full body with a sticky mouthfeel. Very good double IPA.

Real nice frothy head that is retained throughout. From start to finish there is a dominating piney hop bitterness and long lasting thereafter. There is also an edge of grassy wheat Saison like flavor. A definite bite to this one, but not quite as drinkable as I would have preferred. Not too complex, just an onslaught of sticky hop flavor and alcohol.

Pours a reddish copper color with a beautiful two finger head. Absolutely glorious aroma of pine resin and malt with a hell of a lot of citrus. The taste is, not to sound gay, absolutely fabulous. My goodness is that nice. Malt, pine and some pineapple/mango flavors dominate and make the world a wonderful place to be. Palate is slick and oily, and smooth th entire way down. Why did I not buy more of this.
