Stoudt's Double IPA (India Pale Ale)
Found this surprise at the Fox and the Hound and checked it out. Pours an amber-orange color with a nice fluffy head and good lacing. Nose is unexpectedly mild, some floral hops. Good amount of malt too, fairly balanced. Taste is great, very tasty. Some sweet caramel malt shows up and then the floral hops kick in too. Some grapefruit. This one is actually fairly mild in terms of DIPA's "hop kick to the balls." (I've always found that DIPA's ride the line between standard hoppiness and insane, our of control, not-even-necessary-uber-hoppiness; this one falls a lot more in the former category). Feel is good, pretty full bodied with good carbonation. Overall, a tasty and very drinkable DIPA. Quite good.
