Great Divide Hercules Double IPA
10% ABV
Drank this on tap at The Yard in Greenwood.
This beer was poured to the top so I didn't get any head. Very hazy, rusty orange color. The smell was of grapefruit hops, caramel malts, and some dark fruits. Very smooth taste, not as hoppy as I would have expected. It had a medium body and not too much carbonation. It was very delicious and all though it should be a sipper, it is very easy to drink this fast. I felt that even though it is a Double IPA, it reminded me more of a light barley wine. I think that is because of the caramel malts and the dark fruits I was getting in the nose.
An excellent beer, like all of the Great Divide beers I have had, and one I would have again. No questions asked.
