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),

This is another great, absoultly amazing IPA. It’s bitter, but the malt balances it out. The aroma is just amazing. Citrusy, piney, and even a hint of grapefruit. It’s an amber color in appearance. And the taste just blew me away. Wow, this is a great double IPA that I have gotten and will continue to get. I might even get the case of it that we sell in Fairless Hills Pa at Deon Square Beer Distributors.

12 oz bottle from my secret santa. pours beautiful orangish brown with a perfect tan head. this beer is perfect in everyway a double ipa could ever be perfect. perfect aroma of huge hops perfectly balance by the malt structure. the flavours are equally perfect and so balanced between the huge hops and malts. there is just so much flavour and every single part is just so enjoyable. the finish is bitter but just the right amount of bitter. a big thanks to whoever sent this to me!

Fantastic beer! It’s all about the hops. Good initial taste, with a strong hop follow-up. If you are a true hophead, you need to try this beer! The simcoe hop is the key here. To me, this is a special, special hop, and it is really showcased here.

This beer was a surprise. I’m always looking for that Big Hop beer that will knock my socks off, and this is the real deal. Aroma was pure hops, like freshly cut from the field. Smooth going down the the bitter hop ending that opens the senses.

A Personal favorite. This beer has been described as "absolutely disgusting" by the large majority of people I know who have tried it. It’s an over-the-top, powerfully hopped Weyerbacher masterpiece. Tastes like: Paper City Blonde Hop Monster, Heavy Seas Loose Cannon

HOLY SHIT! Interesting flawless nose of berries & citrus, some evergreen; very alluring. Pours a sparkling copper. The great cascade resolves into a super stiff off-white head that is mostly lasting and leaves behind wicked lace. The brew has exceptional depth and balance. Malty, citric, bitter & sweet. Tastes kinda like a rye, nice; very nice. The full body is creamy and soft. The finish has a lightly astringent feel. This was the only bright spot in a botched cookout that included a downpour, and me sending a friend home hungry.

Pours an appetizing dark coppery amber with a thick, off-white, fine-bubbled head that sticks around for a bit. Aroma is rich and hoppy to the point of being piny with a strong citrus overtone. Flavor is strongly hoppy, a little bitter with just a touch of citrus, more orange than lemon. Texture is smooth as milk but pleasingly fizzy and tingly. One of the best IPAs I have ever had! I strongly recommend this to all IPA fans.
