Commercial Description:
This is an aggressive beer. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to appreciate an ale of this quality and depth.

This used to be my base beer until they raised the price. Pours a dark red and has a strong malty nose. k It used to be a kick in mouth for me but now it goes down like water. Overall, a great beer. This beer seems stronger than 7.2% abv giving the fact at how quick it can fuck you up. Definte boozy tatse to this beer, very complex. I would call it an Imperial Amber ale. ABA bitches!!!!!!!!!

Bottle. Beautiful, thick, orange big head. The aroma is stunning - so fruity and citrus, sweet. Very deep flavour with pleasantly dry end. Lot of hops and so ’juicy’ as well. But I hate it! Why should I care?!

Pours mahogany with small white head. Nose is hop-bomb buried beneath some malts; citrus, peach, caramel, and pine rule the nose, a slight sweetness emerging within this combination. Flavor is a little sweeter but still with lots of hop. A little sticky and bitter. A good brew for serious hop-lovers.

This is a great beer. Just the smell alone is enough to prove so. the amazing floral expression accompanied the the hop presence and intense flavors brings this beer to a place i wish i could endulge with all beer that i experience. nice.

Aggressive is right! Like punching you in the jaw. Loved it, very bitter but somehow very balanced throughout. I want more. Yes, very complex to where its hard to figure out all the flavors and aromas.

Outstanding. Pours a rich amber with great color. Head is carmel and healthy. Smell is of fruits and is delightful. The complexity of the taste is almost overwhelming consisting of a few different fruits including grape and I do agree with pineapple. Complex yet balanced with a bitter but refreshing finish. Great beer and packs a pretty good punch. Have another? MANY!

Wow! A dark amber body with a tan head that dissipated quickly. I was smelling a strong pineapple/citrus nose with plenty of hops, but other people disagreed with me about the pineapple. A big, yet balanced, taste finished off one of the best beers I have ever had.

I absolutely lack the qualities of sophistication, palate, and taste to appreciate a beer of this caliber. Very flavorful in every aspect (read: big but balanced), you are a vile waste of human protoplasm if you don’t like this beer.
