Sep 23, 2009 Very hoppy and citrus smell, I think it tastes good, but who knows. The aftertaste is so amazingly boozey that all I can focus on is the aftertaste.

Poured a dark amber with a fizzy off white head. Strong hop aroma, with just a touch of candy undertones. Taste is strong hops, and I mean very very strong malt backbone. Deep color. This is an very good IPA.

Sep 19, 2009 pours clear amber with a small head. aroma is sweet with pineapple and fruity. mouthful is HUGE with hoppy bitterness but with pineapple always coming to the front. this is a big DIPA with some serious finish that lingers on. the abv is well integrated and does not take away from the hop bomb.

Sep 19, 2009 ( 12oz bottle) Pours clear amber with no head and good lace. Nose is fantastic, tropical hops, mango, alcohol, and pineapple. Taste is super hoppy, oily, pretty hot on the alcohol. Overall it’s both too sweet and too hoppy. No balance here. Too much all the way around. A bitter oily finish, but I would describe this beer as complex.

Sep 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very hazy dark amber. Just beautiful looking. Incredibly bitter and loaded with hops. Tastes simply amazing. No alc. taste in it, but you can feel it running through your body. So be careful if you taking on more then one of these bad boys. Just blown away by how delicious this brew was. More please!

Sep 15, 2009 Poured with a big, foamy, frothy, off-white head and loads of lace. Color is a very slightly hazy deep amber. Aroma is a citrus and apple hop and some malt. Flavor’s about the same with a little butterscotch. Mouth is quite soft. Very bitter finish. Some flavors here that clash to me. Liked other Founders stuff much better. Not a session beer.

Sep 15, 2009 This beer was really over the top for me...the flavor comes across as too sweep. The hop aroma is really awesome, but I just can’t get past the sweetness, almost cloying to me. Not a bad beer, but definitely not an every day beer.

Sep 14, 2009 This wasn’t my favorite impy IPA, but a good one. The characteristic I didn’t appreciate the most was the overly malty profile. There was defintely a great amount of hops in this beer, but the huge malt profile overwhelmed the beer. It poured a dark amber color with a big beige head. The head left a minimal amount of lacing around the glass. This was certainly more of a sipping DIPA. It was a good one, but not one of my favorites.
