Jun 5, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A generous IPA that goes beyond the All-hops norm.
I like:
Healthy medium-full body without stickiness. Cleansing carbonation. Excellent white head. Fair hop complexity though not particularly focused nor straightforward. Not overly bitter. Fairly fruity and exotic feel.
I dislike:
Clean yeastiness, but perhaps a bit too present in the flavour profile to ensure the hop ultimate revelations.

Jun 4, 2008 2008-05-31. Dark hazy orange body with a modest beige head. (3+) Modest hoppy aroma is a touch muted but is rather nice, orange notes. Similar flavour, oranges and tangerine hops, light pleasant bitterness throughout. (7+) Smooth average palate is almost creamy (3+) Pretty nice, I like everything it offers but would like just a little more of everything. Bottle, Mondial, Montreal, 3T

Jun 3, 2008 750ml bottle provided by Illinismity at Noog4. Amber-copper pour with a frothy off white head. Some sweet caramel malt and nice pine/spruce in the aroma. Very enjoyable. Overall this is a nice IPA. Flavors of Pine, spruce, and spice with a solid body that does not get in the way of the hops. Semi-dry, medium body. A solid brew all the way around.

Jun 2, 2008 Tasted at Noogfest 4.0 (2008). This IPA (Imperial IPA?) pours a copper gold color from a 750ml bottle. Large sized white foamy head. The aroma is floral and earthy hops, some sweet malts. A medium bodied IPA. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are grapefruity and citrusy. Nice balance between the malts and hops. There is a slight touch of alcohol oiliness. A medium bitterness IPA, it has the alcohol for an Imperial IPA, but not enough malts or hops for one, I think. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Jun 1, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a very pretty hazy copper with a large creme colored head. Aroma has tons of citric hops with a decent malt backbone. Flavor is not as hoppy as the nose would suggest. Pretty bitter and the alcohol is not well hidden.

May 31, 2008 750mL bottle, Batch 7270. Poured a lovely shade of deeper orange with a well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up a very nice array of hoppage that stood out.. apricot and grapefruit primarily with a caramel and toffee backing.. warmth brought out some peppery spicage.. juicy and welcoming. The flavor had heavy grapefruit and caramel sweetness at the core surrounded by pine, grass, and apricot bitterness.. finished a touch sour, which was refreshing. Thick and juicy on the palate, but a bit too heavy.. tacky bitterness amplified by alcohol stuck on the finish.. rather rough.
