Jun 2, 2008 BOTTLE: 8277. Dark clear golden color with off white thick head. Aroma is soooo inviting with a nice hoppiness that isn’t overwhelming. Flavor is strong and bitter but excellent finish that lasts and lasts. Strong alcohol content does not come through and leaves an extremely pleasant and refreshing beer.

May 31, 2008 Updated: Apr 6, 2009Strong fruit, pine and citrius aroma. This beer punches the tongue with bitterness and it hangs on for a long dry finish. A fantastic lively double IPA

May 31, 2008 A well balanced DIPA, but I wanted it to be more bitter than it was. The honey really does balance the beer well.

May 29, 2008 Orange color with a minimal soapy head. Aroma is oranges, pine, candi yams, and perfume. The flavor is rather bitter with some caramel, pine, oranges, brown sugar. Overall this is a good beer.

May 28, 2008 Batch 8278. This Imperial IPA pours a medium copper amber color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head, nice lacing with good retention. The aroma is floral hops with some honey and some orange blossom. A medium bodied Imperial IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are floral and grapefruity. Lots of orange blossom flavors. They balance the hop bitterness very nicely. Guess I am too used to west coast double IPAs, but I want a little more hop profile. The mixture works well here, and this is a tasty beer, but if I had to taste it blind I would never guess it’s a Imperial IPA. A lot of that is due to the fact it hides the 10% alcohol very well. Very drinkable, and if the alcohol was a little lower would be a nice session ale. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

May 27, 2008 This one was very interesting. I love hops and this beer certainly packs them in, but the addition of honey was a pleasant treat. It really helped balance the hop bitterness with the sweetness from the honey. The 10% was well disguised. This one was delicious!

May 27, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured copper in color with a large sticky beige head which left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of strong citrus hops. floral and sweet honey. Taste is of strong citrus hops with a considerable amount of spice and bite to it. The taste is fairly sweet with caramel and honey as well. This is quite a nice double IPA and its outstanding very fresh.
