Welcome to review #7 in the Great IPA a Day review series. This review pits two IPA’s from Great Divide Brewing in Denver, Colorado. Here is the video review:
These two beers from Great Divide Brewing are a good example of the different extremes of the IPA style. The Titan IPA is a solid beer with a 6.8% ABV and all of the hops goodness IPA’s a known for. The Hercules Double IPA has a malty sweetness and good hop bite with an ABV of 9.1%. Both beers are well made and balanced. Either one will be most likely appreciated by the drinker. Give them a try and see if you don’t agree with me.
