Weyerbacher Double Simcoe IPA

Weyerbacher is apparently a US brewer .. not German as I had mistakenly assumed.

No-one could be in much doubt after having a go at this one though - it's a mighty big double IPA with stacks of hops and malt all over it. It sits beautifully in the glass, a dark burnt amber colour with a super head, and generates pineapple and malt notes in aroma.

9.0% alcohol is well hidden and it's due to the crafty combination of bitter and malty this beer develops as you drink. Hops, bitterness, malt, fruit, warming non-intrusive booze, it's all there and balanced beautifully.

This is how DIPAs should be. Delicious. 9.0
