Jul 21, 2009 Beautiful snow white head atop a fizzy orange nectar. Smells nice enough. I always like that flowery/citrusy smell of a good NW IPA. Tastes more watery than I expected. Also thought 100+ IBUs would be more intense but the bitterness is mellowed out pretty well.

Jul 20, 2009 Sweet pineapple aromas with honey and pine hops. Golden yellow with a slight rose hue. Flavor of citrus and orange, orange zest, some caramel, a little saltiness, duration remains sweet with a hoppy bitterness mixed in. Palate is medium thick with a decent duration. Not many flavor changes throughout. Rich enough and enjoyable. 100 + IBU’s are not overwhelming.

Jul 19, 2009 Big and ballsy, this was fantastic. Shared with some of my co workers, wished I had saved it for myself, as it was a little lost on them. Sweet and nice and hoppy. Good balance for such a hoppy beer. Good price too for Japan. I like these guys. They make some good beers.

Jul 19, 2009 Pretty good stuff. Smells of hops with some citrus undertones. The undertones seem to be of grapefruit and orange peels. Taste has a big hop flavor. Some subtle citrus flavors come in during intake. This brew packs a nice little punch in the end. An overall pleasant experience.

Jul 18, 2009 Pours deep amber orange w/a small off wite head that disipates quickly. To the nose it has nice sweet floral hops, pine and some citrus. First taste is sweet hops, some honey undernotes and a hop bite that then lingers on the palate. I’m giving this one a 5! It is all that you can ask for from and imperial IPA. I love it, job well done. Cheers!

Jul 17, 2009 Pours a deep apricot color with a small, chunky, off white head that leaves some nice lacing. The aroma is a warm combination of pine, lemongrass, grapefruit, and floral hops with a hint of sweet caramel malt. Flavor is nice and bitter, with citrus fruit and crystal malt. Full yet easy drinking palate is slightly oily and quite bitter on the finish. A hop heads dream come true.

Jul 17, 2009 Pours a nice white head. Hop aroma and a bit of alcohol on the nose. Thinner body than I was expecting, but nothing to be upset about. Hops immediately, grapefruit and citrus zest, with a smooth maltier finnish. A very pleasant double ipa.

Jul 17, 2009 Thin and delicious IIPA. Bitterness is great and hop aroma even better. Needs a bit more oomf.
