Commercial Description:
This West Coast-Style India Pale Ale is extravagantly hopped, full flavored, medium bodied and copper colored. A menagerie of hops is combined throughout the brewing process to impart specific characteristics. Hops used include Simcoe for a unique fruitiness and grapefruit zest, Columbus for strong hop pungency, Centennial for pine and citrus notes, and Cascade for floral aroma.

Poured from a bottle a clear amber color with a nice fluffy white head. The pine and floral smell really came through in the aroma, just setting the table for what was to come. The beer had an intense hop flavor, but it didn’t overwhelm the senses and go too far over the top.

6 pack from Belmont Party Supply. This is a truly special IPA, and I judge IPA’s harshly. This beer is upfront hops at its finest. A rare combination of citrus and piney hops, this beer’s flavor also contains some malty sweetness as well. Any homebrewer knows that Columbus, Simcoe, Centennial and Cascade hops is an All Star Team. At $14.99 this IPA is quite expensive, but it has the qualities of many Imperials. What an incredible finish, sour, bitter and pungent.

OBF ’07 And this one time I drank a hop bud. The IBU is over 100, holy hell this is good. A must for any true IPA fan.

Draught. Strong hop aroma, grapefruit and pine. Pours a clear amber with a thin head. Flavor is poorly balanced, mostly a strong hop bitterness with very little depth. This is what happens when you throw all your hops in at the beginning of your boil. This isn’t even a hop-bomb, it’s an IBU bomb, and that just makes for a harsh undrinkable overrated mess of a beer.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is mostly of citrus and pine hops with some caramel malts. Flavor is pretty bitter from the hops with a hint of the caramel malts. Bitter, lingering flavor on the finish. Pretty good.

12 oz. bottle - pours clear and dark orange with thin white head; soapy, sweet hops; crisp and killer bitters; smells as good as most double IPA’s but with a very light and thin body; a little sweetness is there, but this basically a straight bitter bomb

Pours dark orange to amber brown. Clear and almost transparent. Very strong hop aroma, some orange juice aroma in there also. The falvor is bitter bitter bitter. BITTER BEER FACE. Bitter hops, some clean citrus and pine but the bitterness lingers. Palate is full but bitter. BITTER!

Bottled. Amber with a medium, off-white head. Loads of grassy hoppiness and sweet malt in the aroma. Oily palate. Flowery, perfume-ish hops in the flavour with a distinct bitterness.
