Double Simcoe IPA
On tap at Fathead's, south side of the 'Burgh. Bright orange amber with red tinted head. Laces very nicely and the head stays semi-intact throughout. Lovely, citrus hop aroma. More orange or tangerine than the usual grapefruit-like citrus you often find. Taste is, not surprisingly, a hop bomb. Since this is the famous "all simcoe" IPA I now know a simcoe hop from a cascade. Very bitter, very cirtusy, very good. Not balanced at all, but I like that in an IPA sometimes. Crisp to astringent at times, but generally pretty smooth. Easy to drink. Excellent outing from Weyerbacher. If you're a hop fan it's great. If you like balance, go elsewhere. I like hops a lot so I loved it. Hope it's still available next week when I return.
