Weyerbacher Double Simcoe

I snagged this bottle as a part of my East Coast beer swap. Terrible label. Excellent beer.

Brewed with 100% simcoe hops, the aroma is a pungent, resiny, fruit, and the mouthfeel is just a tad thick, as you might expect for a 9% ABV beer. Hop oils linger on the tongue long after it’s gone. All in all a very nice beer, though I’m finding my palate prefers something alongside giant simcoe additions.

East Coast IPAs

The brown truck brought me a package of East Coast IPAs last night! A fellow HomeBrewTalk member and I got to talking about clone recipes for Surly’s Abrasive Ale and I ended up sending a bunch of Surly out to North Carolina in exchange for some beer we can’t find anywhere near here. All told, I got 8 bottles of Dogfish Head 90 minute, 5 bottles of Uinta Hop Notch (1 broke in transit), 2 bottles of Smuttynose Finestkind, a 22oz bottle of Epic Brewing Company’s Imperial IPA from their Exponential Series, and a big bottle of Weyerbacher Double Simcoe.

Of that list, I’ve only tried the DFH 90, and only two bottles of that ever, so it goes without saying that I’m beyond excited to dig into this stack of brews and try out some East Coast hop bombs.
