3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 TomDecapolis (4221) - Lawrence, Kansas, USA - JAN 15, 2013Pours a deep hazy orange with a medium bubbly off white head that laced. Aroma of orange, floral hop notes and caramel candies. Flavor of floral, piney and grapefruit hop notes. Some of the caramel malt is there but not as heavy as it was in the nose. Drys out nicely...barely a double ipa at 7.5%

3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Livendadream (5) - - MAY 3, 2013 does not count
Pours hazy copper in color. Has a thick head with lots of tiny bubbles. Very nice lacing on glass. Sap like, fruity smell definitely smell the hops. Sweet, malty taste at first following by very citrus,grapefruit like flavor. Slick on the tongue easy drinking Ipa. Sneaky beer, never even would have thought it was an imperial. Well balanced, appropriately named. Would definitely consume again.

(bottle - 12 oz - The Esquire - San Antonio, TX) Gold pour with a thin white head. Big floral hop aroma with a ton of grapefruit and citrus notes. Flavor is much the same. Juicy grapefruit and orange citrus notes with lots of fresh cut flowers and a mild peppery hop finish. Slightly dry on the aftertaste.

Overall floral bouquet with lots of hoppy notes. Pours light tan with tan head. Great hop taste with lots of resin but a weak finish and the bitterness ends too quickly. Overall decent for an ipa but a weak imperial Ipa.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 hotstuff (3340) - Indiana, USA - APR 13, 2013
Bottle - The appearance is a small off-white head that mostly diminished, transparent body with a gold hue, spotty amount of lacing, and fizzy, lively, fast rising carbonation. The aroma at first reminded me of Raid bug spray believe it or not. Then I detected malt, caramel, floral and pine hops. The taste is very bitter, malty, and citrus, pine hops. The palate is very tingly and this is a light-medium bodied beer. All-in-all this is a beer for hopheads which I am not and therefore I have no interest in drinking this beer at another time.
4.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 thedm (4773) - Fort Wayne, USA - APR 12, 2013
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized tan colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a softly carbonated transparent dark orange colored body and a good lacing. The deep aroma was hoppy and floral. The bubbly mildly vinous mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a strong hoppy aftertaste. The balanced flavor contained notes of floral caramel and hops. A wonderful best in class brew.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a small white head that disappears. Nose has pine needles, apricot and grassy hops. Chewy syrupy bubblegum mouthfeel. Heaps of caramel maltiness and pine hops. Nice pine bitterness. Dry palate. Pretty good stuff
