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.

Mar 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark orange color with a two finger white head. Aroma is hops, hops, and more hops. Flavor is mild bitters and floral hops. Some pine. Aftertaste is bitter. Very heavy body and mouthfeel. Great beer.

Mar 23, 2009 Pours a golden gold with a medium head. Strong aroma, it smells like grapefruit. Taste like strong hops with a touch of honey. This is a great beer, probably one of the best IPA’s I have tried.

Mar 23, 2009 Hoppy citric nose, grapefruit there too along with some sweetness, taste follows the book. The aftertaste is hoppy but suprisingly soft. Didn’t get me a huge stiffy but I guess that is just healthy sexual behavior. I guess I am just getting too used to these imperial/double ipas and their basic flavors. I’d still recommend the shit out of this.
