Flying Dog Imperial IPA - Simcoe Single Hop

While that damn Dionysus was taking all the glory, Simcoe, Greek God of Beer and Relaxation, was out, diligently developing tools for man to brew- fresh grain and hops, active yeast, and bountiful water. With its golden glow and sharp hop bite, our Imperial Single Hop IPA is a tribute to this lesser-known God (and as temple-worthy as its namesake).

3.3 33 cl bottle from systembolaget bs. Strong, stingy, not that smooth. Nice hoppy, fruity flavour, but the alcohol hits through.

3.5 A sharp, well hopped, fruity fragrance. I’m not quite to the taste. Bitterness takes over much of the flavor rather quickly. Aftertaste is having a hard bitterness that remains long in the upper part of the mouth. If you like very bitter, this is a beer for you. For me, I’m not sure. Can be a little too much bitterness unfortunately. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.

3.5 Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear deep golden, medium white head Bready malt aroma, piney and orangey hops, a touch of alcohol. Medium to full bodied, medium carbonation. Dry with high bitterness.

3.3 To start with, the aroma is great, smells like a bomb of floral pineapple, orange and grapefruit, the pour is very promising, clear lightly amber with a thick head. Taste is a bit disappointing from the very promising aroma, tropical fruit is heavily toned down and instead a malty caramel and more of a piney hop taste,to me way too much alcohol forward and malty. Mouthfeel is great.
