Hercules Double IPA
Couldn't find a freshness date...was I looking in the wrong place? Thanks to jdmek9 for this bomber. Poured into a tulip. A: Hazy amber and copper with a small off-white head. S: Bready malts, lots of yeast, a bit of floral hops that are taken over by malt notes for the most part. I'm not too impressed with the aroma yet! T: Floral and earthy hops. Pine pulls through with a bit more warmth on the beer. Big bready malts still. Dark fruit, currant and fig. I'd like some more hop notes in my DIPAs, but this one is still good. M: Medium mouthfeel leaves TONS of residuals. I love it! D: Alcohol hides well on this one, but it isn't the first DIPA I'd go to.
