Bottle pours dark amber color with a off white head. Aroma is more sweet smelling from the malt than hops. Has a medium mouthfeel. Taste follows my nose and is pretty malty for a IIPA. Some hop flavors come in on the back end. Overall a decent brew.

Aug 18, 2008 Bottle shared with Zinister. Thanks!
Pours an average amber, but the slackerness ends there. A wonderful aroma of strawberry grapefruit biscuits greet the nose and don’t let go. This aroma provides a nice segueway to the flavors of malty grapefruit and a sweetened tea finish. Nice mouthfeel; flavors are spread nicely. Pretty good brew.

Aug 16, 2008 Clear dark amber color, white head. Aromas of hops, citrus, and caramel. Flavors of bitter hops, caramel, and lots of earthy hops. Sticky body.

Aug 13, 2008 22 oz bottle. Smells of floral hops and a wee bit of alcohol. Light amber with an off white head that leaves a nice lace. Very smooth taste, with a good balance of hops. The high alcohol content is hidden in the taste. A very good example of an Imperial IPA.

Aug 11, 2008 Poured a hazy orange color with an off white head. Aroma is a lot of hops, mainly piney with some maltiness within. Flavor is not quite what the aroma suggest. Decent balance, but not quite the hop bomb i had expected.

Aug 10, 2008 One of my favorite beers. Smells very hoppy (yum) and slightly sweet. Taste is hoppy and alcoholic with a sweet midnote. The aftertaste is pretty dry and piney. If you love IPA you’ll love this beer.
