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.

Can from ABV. Hazy amber body with a few flecks floating beneath a thick off-white head. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of caramel, earth and honey. Flavour of earth, toffee, menthol and pine. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Restrained and tasty - but not the world class DIPA I was hoping for.

Can from Moscow Co-op. Medium amber with a small, clingy head. Aroma comes in with some sweet malts, and taste comes in bigger, malty and bitter. Hop bite lingers for a while. Tons of caramel and toffee.

Burk från Boxbeers, 5 månader gammal. Guldfärgad, klar med vit krona. Rejält med granskott, tallbarr och kåda, citrusskal, lite kakighet, viss sötma och maltighet men också en lite udda rostad/bränd ton som drar tankarna till en stout. Finns något både i det och i beskan som gör att den smakar nästan precis som Yeti. Typisk old school rivig västkust-DIPA, men hade gärna sluppit de brända tonerna...

355ml can. Pours clear deep amber with a small beige head. Aroma is nutty, caramel, pine, citrus. Taste is initially very malt forward, very nutty, caramel, toffee, hops start to come through with pine, citrus fruits, grapefruit, herbal, quite a strong boozy note to it with a big bitterness on the finish. Perhaps my can is a little old, but this for me is a rating that's well under the average for what is a highly rated beer in general, a rare thing for me.

Il gusto al naso viene catturato da luppolo e lievito. L'intensità olfattiva è molto elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. La carbonazione è bassa. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage e salgono verso l'alto con velocità di ascesa morbida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. La struttura è di spessore. L'amaro è carico. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali sfociano in un finale luppolato. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, fiori, agrumi, pompelmo, arancia e alcol invadente.

Clear medium amber colour, tall frothy off-white head, good retention, heavy lacing. Aroma pale malts, orange, tangerine; smooth taste medium sweet and bitter, malty, fruity, light caramel, pine resin. Malty bittersweet aftertaste, earthy touch, fruity notes, warming alcohol, dry bitter end. Full-bodied, oily texture, soft carbonation, excellent, a joy to drink but beware for the abv, a fine and sturdy IPA.
