darkninja67 (40), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Apr 4, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a rich golden amber color. White head that disappears fairly fast leaving behind sticky lacing. Great bitter citrus taste with good note of hops. Not overpowering as far as DIPAs go but well balanced. Drinkable to say the least as alcohol is fairly well hidden. Another very good offering from Great Divide. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Apr 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with thick white head. Nice strong hop aroma. Taste is bitter with alcohol, not much else. More an IPA with a shot than an Imperial IPA IPAGargoyleGuy (139), Troy, NY, New York, USA Apr 2, 2008 Well done double IPA. Good overall flavor with an intense hoppiness. I really like the citrus flavors. Chapel (329), Levittown, New York, USA Apr 1, 2008 Pours orange with a bit of head. Highly hoppy nose. Flavor is very citrus including flavors such as orange and a bit of lemon. Enjoyable for sure and not ’just a hop bomb.’ However, don’t let that comment make it seem like it is not hoppy, just less so than some other IIPAs. Very dry finish. buckyp (32), Rio Rancho, New Mexico, USA Mar 30, 2008 First rating so I may be liberal, but what a beer to start rating with. It lived up to everything and more that people have said. 22 oz. bottle. Color was clear dark amber. Big off-white head (wheat glass...only available at time) with great, lingering lacing. Hoppiness was intense but blended well with malt sweetness to keep the bitterness in check. Although alcohol is on high side, it never interferred with the great hop taste. I’m glad I found this beer! DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Mar 30, 2008 A beer could not have named better...super tasty IPA with tons of floral hop goodness in every taste....this is the kind of beer you should think twice when ordering...they are not calling it HERCULES for nothing! A serious "meaty" IPA for IPA fans everywhere...very well made. blutt59 (2045), Dallas, Texas, USA Mar 29, 2008 22 0z. bottle, nice amber color with grapefruit citrus and candy nose, body is pure DIPA, a little hot and bitter on the finish for me hoplover406 (204), Crofton, Maryland, USA Mar 28, 2008 Updated: Jan 5, 2009Helluva beer. Big bottle. Pours orange and amber. Good lacing and retention. Aroma is magnificent. Lemons and lemon candy! Hops, pine, resin, citrus and grass. It’s all in there. Great flavor, not too bitter and very well balanced. Definitely one of the best DIPAs that is out there. Get Some!! The great thing about this beer is that it is so easy to find.
