Clear orange with medium white head. Aroma of flowers and banana. Big hops of course, but also some tones of citrus. Very dry finish. Good one.

On tap at the Dogfish Head pub in Falls Church, Virginia. A truly exceptional IPA. Just when I thought I understood what an IIPA was all about - Titan. This just blew me away. Great balance - the threat of phenol a la single malt scotch, which remains just that, strength and bitterness in perfect harmony. They also serve a black-and-tan with this and Chicory Stout, which is superb. Pity we cannot rate blends on this site.

Sampled at the Great Decatur Beer Tasting Festival in Georgia on 10/18/08. Golden in color. Pine hop aroma. Taste was nice balance between pine hops, grapefruit and malt. I am not a hophead, but this one was good.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a pleasantly tannish thick head with good duration and very nice lacing over a clear coppery body....nose is mild floral hops, with minimal pine and resin....tastes initially of malts then lingering grapefruit type bitterness....mouth feel is quite good with that indefinable chewniess of great brews....balance is superb. This is east coast hopping in that they are rather quiet. 12/04/2008

Bottle courtesy of MP via NYC. Thanks bud This was the best of MPs US selecta. Good lookin amber colour with a niiiice white head. Lovely sticky piney hop aroma. Big hoppy flavour with pineapple raisin and citrus notes. Great balance and poise. Superb fragrant dry bitter finish. Top effort. Want more.

Orange color. Typical imperial IPA taste except I noted a hint of banana. A very good imperial IPA, but not the best.
