Pours deep amber with a thick white head. Aroma is dominated by cascade. The flavour is very full and bold. Very hoppy and very bitter. This is a great IPA. It is soo well balanced you would never guess that it was 9%. It has a smooth creamy mouth feel a real pleasure to drink.

12 oz. Malty barley, floral hoppy nose. Orange colored with abrupt off-white/tan head dying into a foam ring. Mid-heavy sweet, medium bitter. Medium body, thin feel, light carbonation. Initially sweet into med-long finish. Strong maltiness, hint of honey. Prominent but not overpowering hop taste balanced well by sweet malt. Better than the average Imperial IPA.

Bold and malty with almost too much hop. Nice nose and flavor. The only down fall to it is that it is a pallet killer. Reserve this one for the end of the session.

Appearance: Pours an amber gold. Let’s about 60% light through. A picture perfect fluffy offwhite head sits atop. Aroma: Hop notes including fragrances of lemon, orange, pineapple, earth, grass, and pine. Sugary malts are also in the nose as well. Taste: Starts off with a sweet and bitter, piney mouthful. Then I get a layer of bitter hopping and sticky sweetness. I also found a very small touch of dry buiscuty malts as well after a closer examination. Mouthfeel: Sticky, thick, and creamy. Overall: A fantastic Double IPA with awesome aroma, and a flavor that is very unique to the style. I think I could pick out 90 Minute easily in a blind taste test.

Bière aux arômes et saveurs de bois et légèerement de prunes. On retrouve également des notes de malt et de houblon bien balancés et tout ça avec une bonne dose d’alcool.

12 oz bottle purchased at Total Wine and more, Jacksonville, Fl. Pours golden with a medium white head. Very nice hoppy aroma. Great hop flavor with a bit of malt flavor to balance it.
