Apr 13, 2009 On tap @ Fathers Office. Aroma is of grapefruit, citrus, hops. Tastes of fresh hops, pine, grapefruit, and the alcohol is very well hidden. Only notes can be detected.This is another one of my favorite IIPA’s.

Apr 11, 2009 Pours a gorgeous orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is like a Christmas tree that has Grapefruit ornaments. Lots of hop character but with a solid malt backbone. Almost perfectly balanced. The hops just keep coming, but never feel like they’re punching you in the teeth. This is a fantastic Double IPA.

Apr 11, 2009 on tap @Capones–pours a white head and gold color. Aroma is resin. Taste is resin hops-some bitter, some syrupy, light medium malt. Dry finish.

Apr 11, 2009 On tap at Fries.
Citrusy grapefruit hops reign supreme in the aroma of this beer! It pours a thick orange-gold with a bit of off white head. The flavor matches the aroma, huge citrusy American hops with sweet malt background. The mouthfeel is fairly thick, perfect for an imperial IPA. Overall, very good, but a bit less complex than the highest ranked IIPAs.

Apr 11, 2009 22 oz. bomber, Batch 9 Feb 2009. Thick head lasting throughout the pint. Clear copper color with constant trickles of carbonation. Distinct citrus aroma with undertones of pine. Amalgam of both hops and citrus in taste, which resolves into a hoppy, better finish. And in the tradition of colorado brews, a crisp finish. One of my favourites.

Apr 10, 2009 Clear red, tall lasting head. Musty smell with a light touch of hops. Almost catty. Heavy presence of hops on the taste, both sweet and bitter. Aftertaste is sweeter than expected, and that lingers more so than the bitterness. Not bad, but certainly not the best of the style.

Apr 10, 2009 One of the best Imperial IPAs I have ever tasted, and the I2PA has been one of the toughest styles for me to enjoy. Served cold from bottle. Poured a nice amber color with a big off-white head. Aroma is unbelievably hoppy. Flavor is bitter but balanced well with sweet malts. Great medium body, good carbonation, and a fantastic hop finish. Would highly recommend, and will be drinking again soon...

Apr 10, 2009 22oz’er. Aroma of resinous hops; floral, grapefruit, and pine. Clear amber with a big frothy off white head that left a nice lace. Bitter flavor of course due to the massive amount of hops, balanced well with a light sweet malt taste. Medium bodied, thick and sticky mouth feel, soft carbonation, with a long bitter finish. This is a great Imperial IPA, the alcohol is hidden within the beer and the bitterness is smoothed out very well by the malt.
