On tap at the brewpub. Orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops. A medium bodied Imperial IPA. Malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and piney. There is also a hint of oak and vanilla. A medium bitter ‘double’ IPA, that strengthens in bitterness as it goes along. It ends up as a fairly sweet. Yet fairly bitter IPA. The hp bitterness lingers in the back of your throat for a while, kind of nice. Good balance between the hops and malts. Smooth taste nice beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 11/10/2008 Hop aroma. Golden coloured fruity and strong in alcohol with a crisp and slightly bitter lasting finish.

Now known as Hopshot Imperial IPA. Light brown/goldish color and filtered. Very cold and no head. Taste is supreme hoppiness but tempered by the cold temperature. Seems to be a decent beer but needs to be served at least 15 degrees warmer.
