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 thanks to Mwelsh13. Pours a copper amber body with a frothy off-white head and nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet with pineapple, grapefruit, peach and a hint of caramel. Flavor is sweet pineapple, grapefruit, herbal, peach, caramel, some chocolate and a bit of alcohol. Chewy texture, medium-full body. This is beer heaven to me.

12oz bottle. murky copper orange color. medium sized creamy tan head. wonderful mix of hops, caramel, oranges and floral scents. nice fruit and pine flavors and plenty of hoppy bitterness. creamy smooth texture. bitter finish that keeps coming at you. big fan of this one.

a murky burnt orange pour under a large creamy beige head. big sweet resiny mandarin scented hops and some touches of bready malt in aroma. surprisingly smooth palate for all those hops and it being 9%. juicy and fruity flavors of big mandarin, pine, peach, grapefruity hops with a malty bready backbone for good measure. well crafted, and welcome to GA.

wohoo!! the initial aroma has a great deal of strong herbal/floral and piny smells with the malts at a medium style but the hops bring it to a everlasting greatness. palate a tad below perfection but the rest makes this a must have.

The aroma is fantastic with those Simco hops and sweet caramel malt. The appearance is amber with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma and robustly bitter. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s quite nice.

12 oz bottle. Trade with TheEpeeist. Thanks a lot. Pours slightly unclear orange with a creamy white head & lacings. Aroma is of fruity & bitter hops. Lots of pine, grapefruit & soap. Very mild sweet touch. Sticky & good smooth palate. Crisp & ends very dry & bitter! Lovely!
