Hercules Double IPA is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, fit for the gods. Hercules delivers a huge amount of hops from start to finish. Its hefty backbone of nutty, malty sweetness balances its aggressive hop profile.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a slighty hazy dark copper colour with a broken off white head and low carbonation. The aroma is hoppy and malty which is where the flavour is at too. It’s ultra hoppy and extremely bitter with a little bit of spice on the palate and some resin in the aftertaste. It’s a very nice beer, but it’s been copied many times over now and it’s starting to become a little tedoius. Could do with a little more spice to make it more refreshing.

Draught @ Olutravintola Konttori. Rated on 01.04.2009
A beer to celebrate my 500000. line on IRC channel #kiksu!
Aroma has exotic fruits, American hops, caramel and resin. Flavour has resin, caramel, exotic fruits, grapefruit and hints of pine needles. I like the strong fruity aromas here, but then again this is a bit too sweet.

Aroma is sweetish and fruity with resin, caramel and hints of vegetables. Flavour is sweetish with resin, caramel, fruits and some woody notes. A bit too sweet and woody.

Nice fruity tones and sweetness is not that disturbing, but now there is glue and menthol in the background. Harsh score estimate: 3.6

Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Hogtownharry ou Blankboy. De couleur orangée et voilée. Nez de houblon résineux, citrique et aux notes florales, moyennement fruité (agrumes), malté de caramel doux avec des notes d’alcool. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture huileuse. Goût assez amer de houblon résineux, légèrement citrique et aux notes florales (une amertume qui dure toute la gorgée) avec un goût fruité (agrumes) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût malté de caramel doux moyennement sucré et aux petites notes rôties puis en finale l’amertume de houblon se concentrte sur le côté résineux avec des notes herbeuses et l’on retrouve un moyen-léger goût d’alcool doux réchauffant. Post-goût assez long, amer de houblon résineux, légèrement herbeux et aux notes citriques avec un goût fruité (zeste d’agrumes) et un léger goût d’alcool.

Tap at Great Divide, Denver - 04/06/12. Slightly obscured orange amber with a small white head. Sweet caramel malt, pine, citrus hops on the nose - good fresh aromas. Taste pretty much follows nose with a little bread and biscuit in the body. Fuller end of medium bodied, slightly sticky feel at times, but finishes smooth. Good all round DIPA.

Bottle from Stirchley Wine & Spirits; my expectations were high for this I could smell a malty aroma with hops but I can’t taste the hops that I can smell, not a bad DIPA but I’ve had much better. Keg at Brewdog Birmingham; this was fresh as a daisy at the Dog loads of pine forest hop, big tropical hit in the taste malt takes a back seat.

Bottle. Pours amber orange with a small off-white head that disappears quickly with minimal lacing. Aroma is pine, roasted malts, a bit of citrus. Flavor is dominated by a heavy roasted malt body, with pine and grass notes from the hops. Leads to a bitter, alcoholic finish. This one drinks a lot like DFH90, which is also extremely popular, but too malt heavy for my personal taste.
