Oct 8, 2008 Slightly hazy orange body with two fingers of smooth bodied cream colored head with some solid stained glass windows of lacing. Heavy malty aroma, caramel, sweet amber malts and grapefruit/citrus hop aroma. Taste is more nice maltiness. Not quite as brutally bitter as some other IIPAs despite the 102 IBUs. Even has a slight alcohol tinge in the finish. Nice drinker, not sessionable due to the 10.54% but not the palate buster like some others.

Oct 7, 2008 22oz bomber. Batch 8, May 2008. Pours a crystal clear red/orange with a huge, two-fingerwidth, creamy, off-white head that sticks around and remains lacy. A less than complex aroma, but lots of it. Loads of dried pineapple hops and sweet caramel malts. There is an earthy aroma to this as well. Straightforward. Taste starts with a rather pine bitterness, then balances and moves to a very sweet and citrusy middle, and finishes with a lime, dry, bitterness that lingers for a long time. Medium bodied. The bottle claims this is 102 IBUs, which is evident, but very well balanced. Overall, this is a really nice ImpIPA that has a lot of taste, but doesn’t stand out like some other ones I’ve had. I’d rather have something more complex. That said, i could still drink these all night.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle shared at my friend James Wight...thanks man. Good beer. Damn good beer. Amber color with a nice head. The hops are everywhere in this brew. Both citrus and floral. But some great malt makes its appearance in the nose and on the tongue. The hops and malt are in harmony in this one. Cheers.
