Commercial Description:
Great Divide brews Titan IPA for hop disciples -- independent beer drinkers seeking out robust, flavorful beers characterized by their abundance of hops, flavor, aroma and bitterness. As a big aggressively-hopped India Pale Ale, Titan IPA fills this bill -- beginning with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishing with a rich, malty sweetness that is carefully balanced with crisp hop bitterness. 65 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

I dream of a super hoppy perfect IPA and this one comes close. Aroma is pine/citrus/fruity. Taste is similiar. A bitter aftertaste and slightly dry. Strong hop brew. Will have to get this again someday.

Delicious IPA....big on hop aroma and flavor. Piney aromas give way to undulating notes of citrus and fruit.....balanced by a rich malty backbone. Bitterness is not overwhelming and complements beer nicely.

Tastes likes it’s trying to be a big IPA with appropriate bitterness, but it’s missing something. Although it may not be the beer’s fault as I had a bit of a cold when I tried it. Pretty solid IPA.

Smells very sticky and sour, strong hops smell. Taste is similar to scent with a strong malt back. Very refreshing, but could be hoppier

Golden amber pour into off-white frothy head that mostly dissipates into light lacing that melts around the glass. Carbonated bubbles rising from the bottom of the glass into a thin swirling pool of white foam at the top. Heavy aroma of piney hoppiness and malty sweetness. Initial flavor of spiced malts and sweet citrus which is balanced by a lingering slightly bitter hoppy finish.

Having become so accustomed to the strength of DIPAs, I was expecting to be underwhelmed by this effort from GD. I ended up very much enjoying it. Pours a light coppery amber, with a good head and great lacing. Aroma has piney hops and caramel malts, and the flavor follows suit, adding a slightly nutty note. Crisp, clean, but full-bodied. A lot of IPAs fail to pull through on their promises of a malty finish and aftertaste - this one does not. It might even be a little too malty. When I’m going for a sixer of something, I’d take this any day of the week.
