Feb 13, 2006 Updated: Oct 30, 2007Bottle. Light gold with just the perfect citrus aroma I love in my IIPA, with tons of lacing. Mouth puckering hop tartness, citrussy tangerine zest along with the perfect dryness that makes it all worthwhile. Fuck balance, taste is where it’s at and this stuff is freakin awesome.

Feb 9, 2006 12oz bottle obtained in a trade from Illinismitty! Thanks Sean! Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a very, very small head and just a tiny bit of lacing. Aroma is fruity and hoppy- very nice on the nose. Flavor is slightly dry and very hoppy. Hints of citrus and pine come through just a little bit at the end. I loved this IIPA! Thanks again Sean!!

Feb 8, 2006 One fantastic brew. Certainly good enough to warrant an Imperial IPA label. Citrus, pine, power, flavor. It has it all. I really like what Goose Island is doing. They have made a line of beers worthy of the 4-pack. This Imperial rates right up there with Ruination and Hercules.

Feb 5, 2006 Bottle. Smells like grapefruit sprinkled with piney hops, very strong in your face aroma. Orange, Copper in color with a white head. Tastes like grapefruit and hints of malt. Medium bodied with a bubbly hoppy start and a nice dry hop finish. This is a really good beer. Thanks tjthresh for this one.

Feb 5, 2006 Pours an orange copperish color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is very hoppy with hints of fresh pine needles and grapefruity orange citrus. Flavor is very hoppy as well with hints of grapefruit and pine. Excellent Double IPA !!

Feb 5, 2006 Bottle. Amber body, big frothy white head. Aroma has alcoholic hops, mild grapefruit. Flavour is hop dominant, with moderate grapefruity hops throughout. Hops increase as the glass goes on. Creamy underlying toffee/caramel deep below makes pleasant appearances. Alcohol is pervasive but mild for the abv. Dangerously drinkable. Doesn’t have the hoppy oomph I expected but it is quite nice. Thanks for the bottle 1FastSTI.
