Beer 290 - Great Divide Brewing Hercules Double IPA (2.5 stars out of 5)

Brewed and bottled by The Great Divide Brewing Co, Denver, CO.  Bought at the brewery during a visit to Denver last month and drunk at home in Katy, TX while putting together all  the papers for Stephen and Austin's immigration visa's to be mailed to USCIS tomorrow.

The web site says: "Hercules double IPA is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, fit for the gods.  HERCULES delivers a huge amount of hops from start to finish. Its hefty backbone of nutty, malty sweetness balances its aggressive hop profile.  10% ABV"

Obviously I am faint of heart.  This beer tasted of raw hops.  It was a lot too "hoppy" for me and was probably too strong for a beer to be drunk while trying to do something useful.
