3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20Pour is orange in appearance with a fluffy off-white head and great lacing. Smell is grapefruit, orange, citrus, light caramel, and earthy hops. Taste is sweet grapefruit upfront, light to medium earthy hops through the middle with some caramel notes, ending with a big bitter finish. I’m also picking up some alcoholic notes in their as well.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mostly clear light copper orange, foamy off-white head settles and fades. Earthy perfumed hop aroma. Floral herbal bitter spicy hops dominate the taste, some farmyard, sweet malt and citrus is subdued. Average carbonation, medium-full bodied, aggressively hopped. Spruce, grapefruit and some caramel malt become more prevalent as it warms. ABV well hidden. Bitter hoppy finish. DNFL (Definately Not For Lagerboys)

This was one of the best IPA’s ive ever had. Super floral aroma with a rich malty backbone, overall impressive.

Somewhat dank orange citrus flavor to this one, has an odd smell to it that I can't put my finger on. The taste is very good though - very bitter and hoppy. Poured from 22oz bottle to maudite glass. Great beer overall, just didn't love smell

2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours amber with off-white head. Very clear. Aroma is citrus, onion, garlic, earth. Flavour is toffee, cocktail onion. Nice hoppy sweetness on the finish. I couldn’t drink any more of this. Apparently I’m not a fan of Summit.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2013 Medium body. Pine, citrus, mild cat urine nose. Balanced tropical, citrusy hops. Malts not overpowering or syrupy. Nice piney, lemon rind finish. Great imperial ipa!
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A - 2 fingers of off-white yellowish head creates deep mounds and sticky lacing. Light amber color.
S - A mix of oily citrus, skunky herbal, and earthy hops. A candy sweet malt sits shyly on the back row.
T - A nutty, earthy, tangerine citrus hops blast a whirlwind of flavor. Leafy herbal flavors sweep in and turns the flavor on a dime. The caramel malt hold up good and a white sugar sweetness adds to contend with the hops. Finish is dry and biscuty.
M - Awesome mouthfeel! Starts sudsy creamy then goes thick and silky.
The Summit and Nugget hops definatly add a different twist to the hop profile. Don’t know how fresh this was but it didn’t seem like 101 ibu’s. A fine herbal DIPA.

Pours golden light copper with bright white head. Aroma of malt and piney resin; flavours of mango, clementine, spice, dank resin, solid malt; smooth with bitter finish. Nice medium bodied mouthfeel. Well done!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Aroma starts out like it’s all about the citrus and sunshine, suddenly the sun is blotted out and dank, dark green forest floor aromas waft past your nose, the clouds roll away and the sunny citrus reappears. Repeat ad infinitum, or until your bottle is finished, whichever comes first. For me, the empty bottle came first. A little rough in the finish, but when you’re punching in this weight range we can’t expect all butterflies and rainbows, can we.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
650mL bottle. Pours hazy orange-gold with a small white head that leaves some lacing. Lots of fruit! Passionfruit and citrus dominate the aroma, some yeast, honey, a little malt and some toast. The bitterness is high but tempered by the malt, and it’s also fairly sweet. This bottle’s been sitting around for a while but the flavours are still quite "fresh". Medium body, soft carbonation, quite creamy with a lingering finish.
