Bottle. Poured a deep amber color with a nice one finger off-white head. Excellent lacing. Bright citrus notes in the aroma. Perfect balance between the malt and hops - phenomenal. Great bitterness on the finish.

12oz bottle dated 4/1/13 poured into a snifter. Pours a clear, dark orange with a full two fingers of thick off-white head. Aroma of resins and citrus. Taste is medium bitter and light sweet. Boozy with citrus and caramel. Full nodied with a thick yet slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, great. I could drink this everyday.

Really good DIPA, but I'm not as impressed with it as I was years ago(before trying a lot more DIPAs). More malty and less hoppy then I remembered. Still a really good beer though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Amazing beer, and a great IPA. Bought this after some debate to celebrate graduation, and couldn’t be happier with the result. Smooth, strong yet easy to drink with a fantastic taste.

Brilliant, relatively smooth with a little hoppy bite, complex but no overpowering elements...

Good looking amber brew with a off white thick head. Smells of citrus and a hint of booze. Taste is about the same with some malt characteristics popping in every once in a while. It is a good imperial IPA but not sure if I would say the best for the price tag it has. Due to there are IPA’s out there just as good if not better with better prices on them I think this was my first and last 90 Minute Imperial IPA..

A beer that definitely live up to the hype. A top 10 I P A. A little on the pricey side, but well worth. Superb!

Bottle. Pours a beautiful copper. Off-white head with some staying. Nose is light with malt and alcohol predominating. Taste is the perfect combination of malt, moderate bitterness and light hops. This is a great IPA.

Better on tap than from bottle. Really well balanced and smooth. Not too sweet - Drink & Give Thanks to The Lord

Pours a thick foamy head and an copper or amber color. Aroma is very floral with a touch of grapefruit, lemon, orange, grass, pine. Palate is thick bodied, tangy, sweet, orange. One of my shortest reviews but this is a great IPA but not as good as 120 minute. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
