3/31/12. 12oz bottle. Clear light amber pour, plenty of orange, with a big, loose khaki head that cuts fast and laces in spotty sheets. Hoppy aroma, but generically bitter, with a big metallic tinge and touches of pine. Big bitter kick from the get go on the flavor, but not much complexity. Lingers bitter and dry with bits of candied grapefruit, pine, and caramel. Not bad.

Great aroma - hoppy enough to make your eyes water, sweet, aromatic. Clear orange beer, off-white head, standard US longneck, cluttered label. Crazy, fine-grained lacing that really clings to the sides of the glass. Woody, moderately astringent, bitter, a little briny. Grassiness in the long bitter finish. Warming, at the end. Medium-heavy mouthfeel. Market Square Liquors, Timberlane. I’m really getting tired of American IPA, 2xIPA and Black IPA.

Got two 12oz bottles from liquor loft and spilled the first... so I’m already mad at this beer. Gold pour with a medium off-white. Aroma is pine and honey. Tastes are caramel malt, grapefruit, bread, pine. Ok.

Average creamy tan lasting head, sparkling body with a ruby ambered color. Lighty malty, averaged hoppy, averaged yeasty with a touch of toffee aroma. Has a medium body, thin textured and lively carbonizated. Bitter taste on the end, going toghether with the good sweetness.

WOW davvero una imperial ipa con i controcazzi! Aromatica molto molto saporita, complessa, ti lascia un retrogusto buonissimo tra l’amaro il dolce dei malti. Bella anche da vedere! Divina!

Draught @ The Rover. Pours clear amber with a small white head that doesn’t leave much trace while dissipating. Smell is malty sweet with caramel, mandarin oranges, apricot, very ripe peaches and some earthy hops and grass. Taste is sweet, bitter and malty with wood, raisins, grape peal, mandarin oranges in sugar syrup, ripe peaches, cereal and hints of alcohol and bread. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and malty with caramel and tropical fruits.
