love it - nice and strong - very hoppy - not as incredibly strong as the 120 minute ipa, but carries a bit more intensity than the easily drinkable (daily drinker) 60 minute ipa.

Best beer I’ve ever tasted. Lots-o-hops, great white head, fruit flavors abound, and a kick like a mule. You feel the buzz after just one bottle. THe best part is the finish, which is bitter and lasts forever.....

Swirl this around in your glass and you will be hit in the face with a fruity hop farm of smells. It gets backed up by a sweet smell as well. The taste has that really forward citrus hop flavor with some of that fruity sweet malt/yeast flavors. It finishes with a herbal almost piney bitter hop taste you should get from an Imperial IPA. The blend is fantastic and you really couldn’t ask for much more in a beer. It has a bold to medium body as it should for 9 percent alcohol. Which by the way is extremely well masked by the bitter and fruity hop flavors. It may not be as bitter as some other Imperial IPA’s (even though its pretty bitter) it incorporates that hop flavor the most... just as how Dogfish claims... so it isn’t your typical IPA. You shouldn’t be let down this unless you get it not so fresh which will bring down the hop bitterness. So get this fresh!

Perhaps the most delicious beer I have ever had. I will not exam the aroma, palate, etc. But it is a pleasure to enjoy this beer. I’ve tried many an IPA, including Stone’s Stone Ruination IPA. But this one is my favorite.

Love this beer but the 120 is better. Expensive but worth it every now and again.

This is the perfect beer! God himself couldn’t balance a better IPA. This beer is what made me a fan of IPA’s.
