Light copper, clear, off-white head. Aroma of orange-tangerine citrusy hops, some pine, underlying grainy malt. Flavor is more resiny/pine, but still lots of citrus, enough malt backbone to support the hops. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cloudy pour from tap, amber/red in color. Heavy on the alcohol and the hop, but still very smooth. Delightful.

fattybladdy (193) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - APR 4, 2013
Bottle, pours medium clear amber with white head. Aroma of pine. Taste is a blend of sweet caramel malts, citrus hops, grapefruit, slightly bitter but clean in the finish. Tasty brew.

started off excellent, and became amazing as it warmed up out of the bottle. delicious sweetness underneath the bitterness, very well balanced and full-bodied. love it when a double ipa doesn’t go completely mental on the hops and instead serves up something powerful but palatable.

Beer has a light amber color with a foamy well formed head. It has a pleasant aroma. It has a favorable taste that is not overpower. Good choice overall.

Bottle. Light amber colour, beige large spongy head, semi-sweet hoppy taste, fizzy, long finish. A very enjoyable beer indeed!

A great iipa and one ill drink regularly. Golden amber pour. Big head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, bitter citrus fruit. Bitter up front, grapefruit, citrus fruit salad, caramel malt backbone. Cmon, you’ve already had this. And you loved it. You know you did.

Kroney (91) - San Diego, California, USA - MAR 28, 2013
Pours copper with thick tan head. Aroma is malt forward with bitter hop finish with stone dried fruits and alcohol. Flavor is very strong malt, bread and more dried fruit with the finish being long and bitter. Good beer... really good beer. Just not my favorite flavor profile for an IPA. Definitely an east coast ale

Frozer (42) - Illinois, USA - MAR 28, 2013
One of the best. Clear amber color with very little head. Aroma is well balanced hops. Sweet malt flavor matched with mild hop flavor completes this beer. Mouthfeel is also perfect. For the 9 percent abv this beer is easy to drink and a prime example of an imperial ipa
