COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This outlaw of an imperial IPA was brewed with Centennial, Columbus, Warrior, & Magnum hops (6 hop additions at 90, 60, 45, 30, 15 & 0 min in addition to dry hopping). The malt backbone lends this beer an amber hue & nicely balances the onslaught of the hops. Approach with caution!

ajnepple (568) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - APR 26, 2013

Draft at Taps (Fort Collins). Amber and hazy with a light tan head. Citrus fruity hoppy aroma, light floral. Medium body with a smooth dry feel. Bitter floral piney flavor, light malts, dry lingering finish. Pretty good.

The Dead or Alive Double IPA has a fantastic finish. Smooth for a 110 IBU and an aroma that begs to have another. The taste is light with a deep after taste which leaves me wanting another sip.

Ratman197 (7758) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - AUG 29, 2012

On tap at City Star poured a hazy orange amber with a lingering ring of amber foam. Aromas of carmel, orange zest, pink grapefruit and light pine. Palate was mediuym bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of carmel, orange zest, pink grapefuit and light pine with a smooth dry bitter lingering citrus finish.

brokephibroke (229) - Mead, Colorado, USA - JUL 6, 2012

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2012 Nicely hopped. Growler from brewery, batch 1. There is a vegetal quality to this, both in the nose and on the palate which I find distracting. However, the drink ability and long bitter aftertaste make this a great first effort! Note: batch 2 even better!
