Bottled. Big thanks to Tomas & Magnus.
Light hazy orange colour with creamy white head. Grapey, mandariney aroma that is very compact and intense - this is what I want from an Imperial India Pale Ale. Balancedly sweet with superb hopflavour and grapey bitterness. There is not much else to say here. Fantastic 2IPA! It’s big. It’s bold. But it’s balanced!

Sep 29, 2008 Pours a hazed orange with a bit of off white head. Great big ol pine and grapefruit aromas. Just a bit of caramel in the background. All sorts of wonderful hop flavors. Aggressive but not overbearing. Medium body with medium carbonation. A well balanced long lasting finish. Nice beer. I need to come by a bottle.

Sep 27, 2008 Cloudy grapefuit colour, white head and lace. Great hop aroma. Very good DIPA, high IBU but not a bomb of bitter. Full mouthfeel and good drinkability.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottled. Hazy amber colour, mediumsized head. Aroma is fruity and flowery hops along with some wood. Flavour is pineapple, peach and some mild flowery notes to balance it up. Long wooden bitterness in the aftertaste along with some mild sweetish fruits.

Sep 9, 2008 Bottle 0.65 l. Rich aroma with hints of different hops and ripe fruits (plums and raisins). Characteristic unclear orange colour with white head. Very dry, bitter flavour from the many hops, but also elegantly sweetened. Long dry aftertaste with a sens of hay or grass.
