Jan 22, 2008 Updated: Feb 18, 2008Imperial IPA carries a connotation of it’s own. Even still, this one hit my tongue with a ton of bitter grapefruits with no aftertaste. Normally, a beer with bitter hops lacks control, but this one was impressive.

Jan 19, 2008 Bottle. [thanks to Øster]
Pours a lightly hazy golden-yellow with a great, yellowish creamy small head. Good lacing. Aroma is wonderfully fruity, strawberries, light doughy and pilsner malt as well as a good dose of hops (naturally). Lively mouthfeel, but still rather creamy. Begins of rather mild with a good fruity hoppiness. Then some light caramel and pilsner maltiness. The finish is extremely bitter, lots of powerful hops. Wonderful for a hophead, a bit sharp, but I really like it.

Jan 19, 2008 75 cL bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours hazy orange with a dense white head. Mild pine and grapefruity aroma. Flavour starts with a sweet caramel with a nice fruity note before a solid bitterness is building up along nice sweet notes towards the finish. Nice.

Jan 17, 2008 Bottle. [Courtesy of thewolf, another great session @ yespr] Average thick creamy like off-white head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Light cloudy amber colour. Aroma of lovely sweet pineapple, grapefruit, citrus and hint of elderflower in the sniff. Over the palate comes apricot, hint of liquorish, caramel, fruit that being peach like. Full bodied with a very dry texture and an average carbonation. Well balanced bitter and sweet flavour. Dry and bitter light lingering finish.
