Jun 27, 2009 12 oz bottle via Hagen. Pours a near clear copper with a massive beige head that lingers. Nose is strong citrus hops..grapefruit, pine and orange. Taste starts and ends sweet actually, with lingering resiny pineapple/pine syrup in the aftertaste. In between there is lots of orange, tangerine and grapefruit. Body is full. Carbonation is light/medium. I would prefer less malt and more hops, as this is more barleywine tasting than IIPA tasting...

Jun 27, 2009 650ml bottle. As one of the first double IPA’s I’ve tried, it was good, but the malt covered up much of the hoppiness. While the bottle stated 70+ IBU it felt more like it was in the 50’s because of the large amount of malt in the beer. I feel like a double IPA is supposed to be unbalanced, and when you try to balance out the extreme hoppiness with extreme maltiness you lose the appeal.

Jun 27, 2009 A very good beer and a good value as well for a 1.5 IPA. Very full of floral hops on the nose, the pour was clear amber. I was very impressed over the amount of hops that came through the nice amount of malt in the body. A very nicely hopped beer in the citrus realm. I would not put this in the same league as Dreadnaught or 90 Min. or some of the other legends, but this beer was nice, very easy in consumption.

Jun 24, 2009 Clear orange. Hoppy aroma but well balanced. Lots of sweet hops with another style added for depth. Ooo lots of edge of the tongue bitterness that fades into a solid finish. Lovely

Jun 19, 2009 Bottle. orange clear pour with a medium head. clean but surprisingly mild hop aroma for a self proclaimed imperial IPA. Still, pretty solid.

Jun 10, 2009 Bottle. A nice clear light copper color pour with a big foamy off white head, some soft carbonation,loads of sticky lace left on the glass. Aroma of sweet tangerine with soft piny notes. Flavor is nice , full body, malty sweet ,with some nice orange,and citrus flavors , slightly floral and spicy pretty strait forward. A slightly oily texture but not in a bad way, a long slightly bitter hop aftertaste, very drinkable.
