Apr 22, 2009 This is one super skunky beer. I prefer their West Coast IPA which I think is really a double IPA. The Imperial is good but I don’t care for the variety or combination of hops used. It doesn’t have the sweet notes that I enjoy. I have tried this a few times and sometimes when you try a really strong beer you think something might be off with the beer but this beer is consistent in aroma and flavor. Better as it warms up and flavors blossom. Sticky like Def Leppard from head to foot.

Source: 22oz bottle purchased in Washington DC.
Appearance: Hazy gold color with a two finger white head that dissipated slowly and left a lot of lacing.
Aroma: Very floral, with pine notes and some citrus.
Flavor: The flavor is all about citrus. Tangerine and grapefruit dominate, with a solid resin finish.
Palate: Medium body and slick, sticky mouthfeel. The bitterness hangs around for a while, but it is very pleasant.
Overall: The second best IIPA I’ve ever had. I’ll buy this whenever possible.

Apr 5, 2009 Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Clear orange pour with good white head and decent lacing. Wonderfully fragrant floral hop aroma and flavor is bitter but extremely well balanced with honey A little watery, it just needs a little fuller body. Sweet and bitter finish. One of the best Imperial IPA’s i’ve had.

Apr 5, 2009 Pours a lacing off-white head with a clover honey color body. Smells spicy of hops, pineapple, and evergreens. Dark honey fading to cotton candy flavor. Taste pineapple and peppery hops. Bitter finish.
