Double Simcoe IPA
12oz brown bottle with no dates poured into a pint. A: Beautiful sun-kissed copper hue with a very slow carbonation stream and a sicky fluffed white head that coats the glass. S: A generously hoppy nose with citrus hints of grapefruit and passionfruit. Slight pine aromas mixed with a slight malty sweetness reminiscent of apples. T/M: All hops, off the charts on the the hop-o-meter. Lots of hop oils that keep the bitterness lingering for a while after the swallow. The beer has a nice creamy texture with its relatively heavy body for the style. It's really difficult to comment on anything but the hops in this one. D: I love hops, usually more than the next guy, but this one was too much for me. I couldn't get past the biterness. It is an Imperial so it is not out of character.
