Stoudt's Double IPA (India Pale Ale)
A medium orange colored clear body. Half an inch of pure white head stayed a few minutes. Tiny, carbonation in average amounts. Sticky lacing clung in sheets. Light fruity aromas up front in the initial nose full. Scents of grapes blend with a bitter hop backbone and a hint of alcohol. A decently balanced aroma, but not overly strong. A very bitter blend of hop flower tastes. Bite of the hop overpowers all the other flavors. Alcohol wafts in and out of the taste but, can't hold against the bitterness. A nice viscosity on the mouth surfaces. Carbonation has very little pop on the tongue. A decent brew. Good against a very strong cheese. Not the best in style, but an clear hops dominance is a nice touch. Must try for lovers of the style.
