Good beer but rather hopless

Review by SoftwareRancher on 8/25/2021

The beer turned out well but it was more like a barley wine than a double IPA. It has a very nice body and good flavor but the hops are almost undetectable. With commercial double IPAs the hops are seriously in your face. Maybe the hops were old? They certainly went into the boil.

First Double IPA

Review by Thomas Redfern on 5/12/2021

This is my first double IPA that I have made. Just bottled an hour ago. I did dry hop it (just because), smelled really good. Great taste and flavor. I look forward to having a cold one when they are conditioned and ready to drink in 9 days.

Sneaky good and strong

Review by Paul Keith Zimmerman on 11/8/2020

This beer surprised me. Not only is it delicious after I underestimated the meaning of perishable but it's very strong. It's smooth and will calm you down after a long day. I love it.

Trouble with yeast!

Review by James on 4/21/2020

Your write-up said to brew immediately. The yeast bag was partially inflated when it arrived so we waited two days to see if it would grow more. Got anxious when it didn't and decided to start brew anyway. Found that the inner bag had not been popped. :( Tried to get it going with some sugar and yeast nutrient. It never started. :( We had some dry yeast as backup that worked. Hoping this brew turns out ok, Won't bottle for another few days though. William's Brewing Responds: Yes, this one includes Wyeast 1056, which is unstable and usually swells up in the pack. Even if you did not smack it, as long as the yeast had a recent manufacture date, the beer should be fine. Let us know at 800-759-6025 or service@williamsbrewing.com if it does not turn on.

Classic IPA

Review by Ken Byington on 12/15/2019

I don't know whether I would call this a double IPA but it compares favorably with any of the commercial classic midwest IPAs like Bell's Two Hearted and Dark Horse Crooked Tree. Nice balance between the malt backbone and the hops.
