4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20 Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, USA - AUG 23, 2003
This is the beer that led me to this site. I found the bottle with the guy nailing himself, it looked interesting, I took it home and drank it. I was impressed, so I went to the website, found a link to here, all downhill ever since. This is a rating of the 12 oz. bottle. Nice aroma, hoppy, faintly of violets. Appropriate deep gold color, nice head, good lacing, clear. Taste is hoppy, with just enough malt to balance it out. The alcohol is totally masked, well done. A highly commendable beer.

Well balanced IPA Dogfish Head knows what they are doing. Crisp hoppy bold flavor not a strong alcohol taste. One of my favorites!

Called "possibly the best ipa in america", i agree! Purchased on a whim from local store. Was blown away by the amazing collection of flavors and huge hop presence but velvety finish. Very smooth and drinkable. This is a GREAT beer!

Appearance was clear red honey caramel gold with creamy lasting off white 1 finger head, lacing throughtout glass. Aromas where sweet honey caramel malts, then soft citrusy lemon, figs, orange,pine and grapefruits.Easy nose with soft hops and sweet malt. Taste was the star, malts of sweet caramel and honey.Hops of citrus and tropical fruitsof figs, orange, grapefruit, and resin with balnace of both. Palate was silky creamy carbonation with a balanced body. The finish was a long beauty of hops and malts. Wonderful, like better colder than warmer...

Bottle to chalice poured an amber with orange hues, medium frothy white head, and minimal lacing. Aroma includes tangerine, grapefruit, and figs. Taste is a symphony of flavors including honey and raisins upfront followed by citrus and pine hops. Finish is extremely smooth and creamy with a wonderful mouthfeel. Excellently crafted, complex, yet very drinkable Imperial IPA.

Smells fruity and hoppy with a little straw as the pour matures. Blondish amber colour. Decently creamy head with great tracing. Taste has a good balance of booze. Palate is pretty thick, long-lasting. From City Market Co-op in Burlington.
