Bottled@ Martys. Amber color with a nice white head, creamy a lot. Aroma is sweety, hoppy and citrus. Flavor is quite hoppy with a smooth sweetness finish. Mouthfeel is well balanced bitterness and swetness. Amazing!!!

Semi hazy amber with a tan slowly dissipating small head. Aroma of heavy citrus and floral hops, sweet malt and mild alcohol. Flavor of citrus, alcohol, sweet malts. Decently balanced with a sweet dry hoppy finish. Perhaps too sweet but overall it was decent even though I’d probably give the nod to the 60 minute over this one.

Bottle. Perfect color and head. Some hops aroma, but very restrained in the bottle. This beer is well balanced, not overly sweet like some IIPA’s. I have had this on tap in the past and it is much hoppier when poured from the keg.

My first sip was something magical. It was like kissing a girl for the first time. Sensations raced through my veins, and like Remy in Ratatouille describes it, "flavors exploded in my mouth". A parade of tastes marching on my tongue. Pairs very well with dishes with garlic and strong flavors. I’m going to attempt pairing this with Kalbi (Korean BBQ). Charcuterie would also work well I think.

Bottle. Pours amber with thin head. Hop aroma, malt taste. Very, very well done IPA but overall doesn’t live up to the hype.

Hazy amber with minimal head. Very similar to the 120 minute, but noticeably smoother. Still big hoppy flavor yet smooth to drink.

Pours clear golden amber with thick off-white head which fades to a sudsy film. Aroma is heavy on citrus and floral hops, honeysuckle. Flavor is very complex with the hops up front balanced by a sweet malt and honey in the middle with heavy grapefruit bitterness at the finish. Somewhat spicy/zesty mouthfeel. This was the one that got me hooked on imperial IPA’s.
