Really great hoppy IPA. Aroma is fantastic. Despite the high IBU’s this is extremely well crafted as there is no harshness sometimes associated with this style. Good Malt backbone. While 7.5% is nothing to sneeze about, it is in fact a bit lighter than many other Imperial IPAs (like Dogfishhead 90), making it a hellava "session beer".

Great drinking beer. Sweet hops with a great finish. Gorgeous gold color that brings some aroma to the nose but hid some of the sweetness.

Had this beer last night for the first time. I really enjoyed the balance of the hops. A great beer with a pleasant hoppy floral finish. Will definitely enjoy this beer again.

I didn’t rate you? Weird. I wanted to look up what I thought because a friend ordered it. I know I’ve had this on brewery tours so lets rate this on my memories. Too hoppy. That is all.

Pure sweetness. This is a beautiful beer, it tastes a lot like Bell’s Hopslam. Excellent hop balance.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 queenholly (516) - South Whitley, Indiana, USA - MAY 8, 2012
Bottle. Citrus, pineapple, and caramel malt aroma. Clear orange amber with a small off-white head. Sweet orange and caramel malt flavor. Not as hoppy as I was expecting it to be, but I like the hop/malt balance. Medium body.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 rdixon77 (91) - Georgia, USA - MAY 6, 2012
Pretty standard IPA. Dark orange coloring. Nice floral aroma. Tangerine taste that hits you pretty hard, but then quite a bit of malt in there for an IPA. Decent spicy bitter finish. Didn’t rock the boat too much, but a fine drinker.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 fiveacestx (161) - Texas, USA - MAY 1, 2012
Bottle - pours gold with a medium head and lacing. It took 4 or 5 sips before I finally figured out that it had a tangerine taste to it, but not tangerine in a good way. More like tangerine that is about to go bad. Maybe I got an outdated bottle.....or maybe I just don’t like it. Has a medium mouthfeel and a dry finish.

Aroma is a mix of piney hops and syrup-like malts, close to a DIPA. The flavor is piney/citrus hops mixed with a thick, mildly sweet maltiness. Kind of like a light DIPA, interesting.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 paintedmaple (123) - Fenton, Michigan, USA - APR 29, 2012
12 oz bottle...very tasty herbal, floral, piney, happily hoppy IPA. Fresh clear flavors and not at all ’muddy.’ Could drink a lot more of these!
