4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
The aroma of this beer is quite hoppy (floral, resin, and citrus hops to be specific), and the appearance combines a clear orange color with a large white head. The taste was very well balanced between a medium bitterness and a mild sweetness, and the mouthfeel combines a bitter finish, medium body, slick texture, and a soft carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
A great imperial IPA, arguably one of the best there is. I will take this beer over a Hopslam, Hopwallop, Nugget Nectar, or anything similar, but I think that the style is overrated. The nose on this beer is one of the most recognizable I’ve experienced (with regards to the Imperial IPA style, anyhow) because the drinker gets less citrus and grapefruit peel notes but a bit more pine and malt, which (thank God) differs from most imperials (which this rater contends pretty much all taste the same with little variation). As a server, if someone wants something hoppy, this is my go-to beer because it is damn good.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Clear yellow with a thick good lacing white head. Smells juicy and crisp with pine, bread and biscuit. Same notes in the aroma with some mango and peach. Taste is medium sweet and bitter. Medium to full body, oily/creamy texture, soft carbonation. Crisp, smooth, balanced and hides the alcohol really well.
4.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
1 Pint 6 oz. Bottle. Pours golden/bronze, thick frothy head, which last relatively long. Aroma is hoppy with light citrus flavors, which is surprising for this beer. Thought it would have a more complex aroma. Taste is however on the spot. IBU are very high, seems higher than 100 and the alcohol content is noticeable but welcoming. The Palate is a blaze with life, carbonation is lively. Overall: Excellent Beer, a true craft beer champion.

Flaske: Gul klar øl med et flot kridhvidt skumhoved. Duften er velhumlet med vægt på citrus og let kattepis. Smagen sidder i skabet. I det hele taget en yderst velkomponeret øl.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Nicely balanced hoppy overtones with a citrusy hints with just the right hints of bitterness on the backend.
