Pours a murky orange color with thin white head. Aroma is of hops, caramel and citrus. Very balanced taste, very hoppy and sweet malt backbone. Finish is slightly bitter with a hint of honey. This one is very smooth, no way would I guess it was 9%.

Jul 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Light orange pour. Medium sized, white head. Good bit of lacing. Nice aroma of citrus and piney hops. Big malty backbone, but the hops are the main draw in this brew. Very nice, sticky, hop resin flavor. Slightly bitter finish with some warming alcohol.

Jul 17, 2008 12oz bottle pours a translucent orange with a thin, white head. Aroma is strong with pine, grapefruit, tropical fruits, oranges, pineapple and some spice. Flavor has a strong citrus bitterness, spicy malts, herbs, some biscuit, oranges, honeydew and a little toffee. Finish has a lot of bitterness and a medium body. Good, but not great.

Jun 29, 2008 Hazy orange beer with a thick sticky off-white head. Aroma is lightly orangey with a touch of tropical fruit as well. Thick and sweet smelling with a bit of honey. As it warms there is a bit of muskiness as well. It’s quite sweet and a bit of honey on the palate. Meh... not really my style of IIPA. It’s not really bad, it’s just not that good either.

Jun 24, 2008 Thanks to Polomagnifico for this. Pours a slightly honey orange amber with a thin off white head. Nice grapefruit juice, floral, and pine aroma, very nice focus on the hops. Taste is big hop BITE, with lots of grapefruit dryness and a little bit of malt. The bitter bang that starts it off mellow a bit in the finish, but there is a good amount of bitterness there just in case you forgot about it. A very tasty hop bomb and, dare I say, quite drinkable as there enough malt to keep it from being too bitter. Very nice.

Jun 16, 2008 typical orange medium head Impy IPA pour. Same with the aroma: citrus fruits and pine. Floral, citrus and a slight raison flavor with a bitter hop bite at the end with a nice finish. The mouthfeel is a touch thin. But not bad kinda run of the mill for this style, but dbl IPAs are one of my faves so its good.
