A Note on This Beer
With its robust 10% ABV, fierce 85 IBU bite, and fervent accolades, Great Divide Brewing Company’s Hercules Double IPA is one of the most beloved Double IPAs out of Denver. Hell, it’s even one of the best in craft. It will hit your palate with the strength of a freight train, catapulting your love of hoppy robust brews to new levels.
Hercules, a longtime brewpub favorite, ranks a monumental 99 on RateBeer and has earned an earth-shattering 99 from the BeerAdvocate Bros (as one of their very favorite Double IPAs). The 19-time GABF award-winning brewery creates a blend of Centennial, Simcoe, Columbus, Amarillo, and Eureka Hops for a complex hopbomb full of resinous citrus flavor.
With aromas of juicy fruit salad, hints of bright orange citrus and ripe peach from Centennial and Amarillo Hops flow into notes of musky passion fruit from Simcoe Hops. Columbus and Eureka Hops weave spiced fig and dark berries for a jammy mouthfeel, making way for tangy hits of grapefruit pith and black pepper. Together, the hop medley leads into an intense tangerine peel-like bitter finish that will leave you thirsty for another sip.
Standing strong for over two decades, Great Divide has built a reputation for crafting some of the best beers out of Denver. Hercules exemplifies this prestige, earning it a spot on every hophead’s roster.
