Mar 30, 2009 Bottled (CK); batch 8911.
Clear amber color, small steady off-white head, some lace. Impressive aroma of passion fruit, pine and other kind of hoppy things. Medium-bodied. Very fruity, pale chewy malty, citrus, pineapple, passion fruit. Quite mellow IIPA, not as alcoholic as 10% would indicate. Aftertaste is cyrapy, hoppy, grapefruity and piney.

Mar 29, 2009 Two at once with Butters. Old bottle was deep golden with a sweet hop aroma and a cloying mellow hop flavor with caramel notes. Newer bottle paler in color with bitter and apricot on the nose. Tastes like fruity hops, good bitterness, and honey notes. I prefer the newer bottle.

Mar 27, 2009 This is an amazing Imperial IPA, one of the best I’ve had from an American brewery. Poured orange amber with a small white head that dissipates quick. Strong hop aroma with citrus notes. Flavor of floral hops and bitter finish. Really easy to drink for a 10%.

Mar 26, 2009 A great example of what an Imperial IPA should taste like. Aroma is strong with hops with notes of citrus, pine, and grass. The Carbonation level is perfect. This beer has a strong bitter finish, the alchol is not very noticable, despite the 10%. An awesome IPA for any hophead!

Mar 23, 2009 Bottle from daknole (yay!). Batch 8909, packaged January 5, 2009, so this should still be quite fresh. Pours a lightly hazed orange amber with a medium white head. Piles of sweet hops full of floral, citrus and pine notes, and a hefty amount of malt. Medium to thick body, with creamy carbonation that sneaks in a little bite from time to time. Flavors have a nice a sweet grapefruit note and a little bit of alcohol. Finishes with a long heavy grapefruity quinine note, with almost a hint of oaky dryness.
