This was good, one of the better imp IPA’s I’ve tried. Massive citrus on the nose, which follows thru to the taste blended with nice maltyness.

Bottle: Dark amber color, medium head. Nice hoppy, citrus smell. Taste is sweet with a bitter bite, and then a nice alcohol burn that washes the bitterness away. Big flavor, nice bite, smooth ending... GREAT IPA!

Bottle. Pours a deep amber, big cloudy white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus, hoppy, hints of the sweetness to come. Taste is subtle sweet malts and fruity notes, but it is big on the hops. Somewhat syrupy palate, thick, elixir. Great impy IPA

Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a fluffy head that disappears too quickly. Aroma of malts and heavy citrus like raisins, dates, figs etc. Very tasty malt flavor that almost overpowers the hops. I got the hops on the back side after the sweet malts had disappeared. This is another outstanding brew from Dogfish.

Found some old notes. (6/30/07). Pours a deep golden amber with a diapering white head. Strong pine aromas from the hops. Follows to the taste with a nice malt balance. Long dry bitter finish.

(35.5cl bottle) Hazy, orange-amber colour with a medium-sized, slightly tanned foamy head Very aromatic piney and subtle fruity (sultanas) hoppy nose with a present and slightly toasted malty blend and licorice spice. Bitter flavour with a rounded malty sweetness, full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Robust malty base with notes of licorice and a touch of caramel, accompanied by delicate fruity flavours of raisins, citrus and pineapples. The aromatic hop character is always present in an elegant way. Medium-dry, bitter-sweet lingering hoppy finish with delicate but warming alcoholic notes. Superb (15.II.09).

This is a staple of mine. An imperial that has a light amber but is very bold and intensely flavorful. The aroma is almost sweet and the taste has depth with citrus and raisins.
