Double IPA – A strong and full bodied ale with intense hop characteristics and a deep golden color. Multiple kettle hop additions and generous dry hopping contribute to the powerful bittering and fragrant hop character of this beer. Double IPA pairs nicely with shellfish and spicy dishes.

bottle - Pours copper and lightly cloudy with a thin, lingering head. Naturally is smells heavily of hops. There are floral and citrus notes. It’s quickly apparent by the taste that this one is very big on the malt too. It’s not as bitter as I expected. Citrus hops are partially buried by the heavy malt and the result tastes pretty good, but I think misses the complexity of hops flavors that some better examples of this style capture.

Bottle: Clear copper pour with a smaller white head. Nose is hoppy and sweet, citrus and caramel mostly. Taste is rich and flavorful as the aroma would lead. Rich, potent, and smooth. Plenty of citrus and floral bitters. Nice. Thanks Matt.

Nice big resiny sweaty hops, some citric grapefruit, and some tropicality too, like mango or pineapple, or maybe apricot. Deep bready malts (dark rye-like breads) behind the hops. Amber color, smallish head. Surprisingly huge on the sweet bready caramel malts up front, but not so surprising after I read the 10.6% ABV figure! Hops show up as a resiny sweaty lightly fruity complement on the sides of the tongue, and balance out the finish, which is long and rich, almost a fruitcake like presence. Atypical of DIPAs, but nevertheless a fantastic rich barleywine-esque beer with deep malt and hop flavors. My first new rating from Stoudts in years, and I’m happy to see they’re still rocking.

Pours clear orange with off white head. Big hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet malty flavor that balances out the big hop flavor nicely. Alcohol is well hidden for being over 10% abv. Full body with average carbonation and a sticky mouthfeel. A very well done DIPA

On tap at the Vintage Estates, one of my favorite beer tasting arenas, thanks Nuts. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance. Yellowish white creamy head. Floral citrus aroma but not quite pine needles. Bitter oppressive chewing on grapefruit rind taste. Mouth coating bitter oppressive palate. Barely any carbonation. What can I say, one of my least fave styles. Bitter lingering medicinal finish that hangs for what seems forever.

12 oz bottle from CaptainCougar. Pour is a clear golden orange with carbonation and a medium sized off white head. Aroma is honey sweetness, citrus and floral. A bit of alcohol as it warms. Taste is quite sweet initially, settling into lemon lime citrus floral bouquet. There is a pronounced boozy finish to this one. The hops and alcohol are the story here, not my perfect mix - in fact - I found it a bit cloying and unrefined.

Bottle from JB175; nose of some citrus hops and caramel malt; orange with a medium offwhite head; flavor of mild hop bitterness, sweet caramel, and a litlle vanilla thrown in. A little unusal balance for a DIPA, not all that hoppy.

Bottle. Orange-cherry malt and moderate pine hops aroma. Amber with large head. Sweet light orange flavor blended with strong pine/grapefruit hops and a hint of alcohol bite - hops lingers quite a while after swallowing but light and very pleasant.
