Toppling Goliath Scorpius Morchella Double India Pale Ale

Toppling Goliath Scorpius Morchella 
Double India Pale Ale.
8.2 % ABV. 100 IBU.
Toppling Goliath Brewing, Decorah, IA.

Highly hazed, dull orange, slim white head.

In the nose: Bold, assertive citrus: lemon, orange, grapefruit, with a trace of pine on the side.

In the mouth: Just a little juicy, before the hops pop. Bitterness splashes on the palate, before ending on a dry note. Medium-bodied, flowering alcohol, overflowing hoppiness. Plenty of citric goodness.

I'm pleased that this is not an "NE/hazy" double IPA. Too many of those, not enough of these. Gimme a good old unfiltered non-NE DIPA. Hold the DDH. Once in a while, at least.


Brewed each spring to celebrate our brewery’s annual day off to go morel mushroom hunting, this excitingly hazy double IPA is a tribute to our love of great hops and morels. Created with a combination of Pacific Northwest and Southern Hemisphere hops, Scorpius Morchella is meant to be shared with friends on a warm spring afternoon.
