Mar 25, 2009 Nice hop aroma from the bottle. Mine was hugely carbonated. Big pillow of a head that lasted throughout. Nice sweet start with a hop dry finish. Very nice.

Mar 24, 2009 Pours coppery with a thin white head. Smells earthy with sime sage and yeastiness. Tastes bitter and earthy with some nice subdued spiciness on the finish.

Mar 11, 2009 My enthusiasm for Elysian Brewery has dampened a bit since I had a string of so-so beers from them, and next in line is a beer style I’m not too keen on: Elysian’s Immortal IPA. A medium-thin ash gray head crowns a cheery fox-orange beer, buzzing with energy. In contrast the aroma is muted and heavy, threatening grains, and grapefruit in a watery, motley bouquet. With a little warmth, some peach blooms into the aroma. But by and large, an unexciting smell. The flavor is also on the blander side, but the aftertaste is much more engaging. I also appreciate that this isn’t the typical American Hop Bomb, but a much better behaved IPA. The flipside of that, I suppose, is the relatively mundane flavor profile - a moderate bitterness and scattered peach notes, making for a drinkable, sippable, acceptable IPA. Better this, I think, than having my esophagus raked with hops flavors, though.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle from Bottleworks. It has a (not bad) medicinal aroma. Pours with a very nice lingering head. Okay taste but a good long finish.

Feb 27, 2009 22 oz bottle, Mildly piney aroma. Poured a hazey golden copper with a smallish white head. Spotty lacing in the glass. This IPA had a decent flavor a bit better than most in it’s class. Rests well on the palate and overall is quite drinkable. Not quite rotation worthy but OK once in a while.

Feb 27, 2009 Golden in color with a nice frothy head. Pine on the nose. Nice subdued hop flavor which let the malt run free.

Feb 27, 2009 On tap @ Coles, Buffalo NY. Solid IPA. Not a Hop Bomb butvery good. Can it be a sessionable IPA @ 6.3? More english than PNW. Malts balance things out nicely. Great color, good hop filled aroma. Smooth & a nice option after a couple Nugget Nectars
