Double Simcoe IPA, 9.0% ABV, is a full flavored ale with hints of pineapple and citrus up front, a good malt backbone in the middle and a clean finish.

Double Simcoe IPA is our incredible reward for Hopheads seeking the intense hop flavor in a Double IPA, without the harshness. It is brewed utilizing only the Simcoe hop variety. This hybrid hop, developed and trademarked by Select Botanicals Group, LLC in the year 2000, was created for its high alpha acid content, maximum aromatic oils, and low cohumulone (harshness) levels so that brewers can really put a lot of ‘em in a beer and not create an overly harsh taste.

Check it out, and you’ll soon see why everyone’s talking about it. Double Simcoe is available year-round.
Named 2006 “PA Beer of the Year” by Beer Author Lew Bryson, at www.LewBryson.com.

Best With: 
A general rule of thumb with this beer is 'the spicier the better.' The impressive hop bitterness in this beer can stand up to just about any degree of spiciness in dry rubbed ribs, Cajun cuisine, curry based Indian food, or wasabi spiced Japanese fare.

If you're from the
Iehigh valley, you know that Weyerbacher and Fegleys brew works make some great beers. I prefer hopsolutely by brew works over simcoe. Both are great, but the first is smoother and more alcoholic. I find it also to be generally more drinkable. Neither is a bad choice to have a great big IPA.
