beer_name: Hercules Double IPA
text: Pours an orangish red with a nice foamy head. The aroma is surprisingly lacking...hoping that it comes out more as it warms. It does...towards the end a nice, rich floral hop aroma comes out, bringing some sweet malts with it. The aroma is very light spicey hops, with a touch of piney aroma and light malt underneath. The taste is luckily not as elusive...spicey, piney hops up front...definitly not over powering compared to the toasty, nutty malt underbelly. There seems to be a hop complexity that isn't present in other double ipa's which makes it seem even better. This is definitely a nice, spicey beer for the hop head in all of us.
