3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle.
Hazy light brown. Strong herbal hoppiness. Grass, resin. Lonmg aftertaste. Nor spectacular, nothing imperial about this.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle in Arizona. Powerful and fairly smooth a little weird on the palate but true to imperial ipa form
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz. bottle: This one pours a hazy, golden-amber color. There was a small off white head on it that didn’t linger long but left some lacing. Lots of hops to the nose. Resinous and citrus notes prevail. Some spiciness also. Definitely a big shot of bitter hops to the taste. Some spiciness. The taste is good, but could have used some more malt in the body for a better balance. Still, pretty good.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Had this beer to long ago, just transferring from a app I was using to rate beer. As I drink these again I will add a better review.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
spicy, hoppy, delicious! an excellent rendition of the Imperial IPA. truly a brew worthy of many more savorings!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle. Decent floral notes on the nose with some citrus. Dark copper body with good head that left some spiderweb lace. Malt was more pevalent in the flavor a heavy beer along wwith some mild citrus and sugar. Good beer just one that it doesnt sound good from notes but not bad.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Smells sweet and a little skunky. Not too thrilled to try this after smelling but hopefully it will surprise me. Very thin and sweet and malty at the start but then gets a bitter at the end which is interesting but not sure in a good way. I like bitter IPA’s but I prefer it citris and piney and this one doesn’t deliver for me. Don’t get me wrong it is drinkable and I wouldn’t turn it down but not what I’m looking for.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JAN 2, 2012 I was also looking forward to trying out this, but was kind of let down by the lack of range/volume. I feel that the bitterness and alcohol overpowers the others. You can taste the citrus notes at one point, but they are swiftly moved aside. Once you understand the context of this brew it isn’t all that bad, but there are others out there that may give more. Don’t get me wrong, I do love the bitter ones too.
