Double Simcoe IPA
Poured into a snifter. A: Very cloudy, deep, orangish amber color, with one and a half fingers of sand colored head that leaves tons of thick lacing behind. A: Citrus hops hit me at first, mainly the orange and grapefruit. Then the loads of caramely (is that a word) malts come into play. Well balanced nose. T: The sweet malts take control of this beer. The simcoe hops are very prevelent, and balance it nicely. The beer finishes very bitter, which is nice, but the aftertaste is a little off. M&D: Creamy, full body beer, light on the carbonation but not too light. Very drinkable @ 9%. I would say this falls a little more into the German DIPA category,(similer to Bell's Hopsolution). This is my first experience with Weyerbacher, and I will have to say that if their other selections are as tasty as this one, I will become a fan. Skal.
