Honestly... I continue to think.. year in and year out that this is one of the best beers I have ever tasted... I even limit myself to getting a pint only now and then... so that I don’t get used to it... Whenever I am at the British Beer Company in Pembroke... I always ask for one (most of the time they have it)... Great Beer... great everything about it... The Prefect Imperial IPA!

3yr old, thanks to Holdenn. Hazy orange with medium white head. Slight sherry oxidation and caramel. Vegetable, caramel flavor, slight hops, alc, oxidation. Medium body, light carbonation. Oxidized, meh. Love this beer fresh, actually kind of surprised I’ve never rated it before. Will have to get a bottle soon.

12 oz. bottle. I have had this many times over the years and just realized that I had not entered a rating. Pours clear amber in color with a medium sized creamy off white head. The aroma has a nice dose of hops (citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruit) and sweet malts. The flavor is more malt forward than many DIPA’s, but does have a hop presence. The sweet malts are up front with grapefruit and citrus hops leading the way to a nice bitterness in the finish. Medium/full bodied.

Orange amber in color with a small off white head. It has a surprisingly sweet aroma of orange, pineapple, and alcohol. Sweet flavor as well with candied fruit, brown sugar, and then the bitter hops in the finish. A little over the top for me, but still a unique Double IPA.

On tap at Cooper’s IPA Fest. Pours clear amber with a nice lingering off-white head. Funky, earthy hop aroma with a hint of alcohol. Surprisingly stouty flavor profile- lots of roasty malts complement the earthy pine hops nicely. Mouthfeel is chewy with a roasty pine hop finish.

12oz bottle. Aroma of Grapenuts™ cereal, caramel and just a faint hint of floral/citrus hops. It really has a smell of doing a mash, like popping off the lid of your mash tun after about an hour of mashing. Orange/amber with a small off white head and a tiny bit of lacing. Very nice sweet flavor cut with a bitterness that just lingers in the background. Slightly thick with average carbonation and a bitter finish. I homebrew and this beer really tastes like a cross between a finished beer and a sweet fresh wort. I really have never tasted any beer or IPA like it. Unique and delicious, try it as soon as you can.

Caramelly sweet hoppy nose, sweet taste and a hoppy finnish. A bit too sweet for me and the bitterness is not too refreshing. I prefer the 60 min ipa by a long shot.
