Great Divide - Hercules Double IPA
Yay, another Great Divide beer. Colorado has to be producing the best beers hands down, in the US if not the world. That's right I said it. Screw Belgium, Screw Germany, Screw the Pacific Northwest. I'm going Colorado all the way for now with Wisconsin/Midwest making a strong statement and putting us on notice. This bad boy is a double IPA, similar to one of my personal all time faves, the Avery Maharaja.
It has dark amber color and a nice creamy head with some serious lacing as you drink it.
Smell has a strong hops of aroma of florals and a faint alcohol smell, which I like.
Taste is very nice. Strong, suped up hoppy, nice maltiness and alcohol in there as well in the finish that has some pop to it . Has that chewiness that some of these hop heavy beers have. This is an excellent beer perfect for enjoying over an evening.
While not as awe-inspiring as the Maharaja this beer is mighty fine and the best thing is that it seems to be available all year around. Bonus points for that. Get it, try it, love it.
