Apr 14, 2007 Big fruity nose and powerfully grapefruit-esque. This one is simultaneously smooth and bitter (not palate burning)on the finish. Hazy, clouded tawny/copper color with a small, well-centered white head. Prominent and columnular lacing. Exceptional IPA!

This DIPA screams at you from the glass. A fiery blood
orange/red. Full of miniscule floaties and some stray
carbonation bubbles. The head is thick, white, and coats the
glass with sticky, resiny lacing. Overall retention is superb.
Sweet citrus. Lemon, grapefruit, lime, hints of tangerine, and
star fruit, with a nice touch of toffeed malt to integrate
things a bit. Very sweet smelling hops somewhat floral.
Man this is a great beer. Thick with resiny, citrus fruity
hops that finish on the piney side. Grassy on the finish as
well with toffee malt at the mid. Prickles the taste buds on
entry and through the long finish. Very citrusy again but not
much grapefruit in the mouth more led by tangerine and star
fruit with a lemon/lime twist.
Nicely carbonated, medium mouth. Drinkable as hell, no signs
of alcohol.
If anyone from Midnight Sun is reading this. Please start
distribution in Ohio. Your beer is outstanding.

Jan 2, 2007 This Imperial IPA pours a medium orange color from a 22oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is piney and grapefruity. A medium bodied 2xIPA. Malts are caramel and fruity. Hops are grapefruity and citrusy. Nice balance between the hops and malts. Good carbonation. A medium to high bitterness IPA, but seems a little subdued in comparison to most of the other west cost IPAs. Nice carbonation. Good interpretation of the style, balls to the wall but not over the top. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. Thanks to Chris C for sharing this gem.

Feb 7, 2007 The beer poured a clear light copper color with a medium off-white head. Very nice hop forward aroma. Piney, earthy sweaty, yum. There was hop flavor and hop bitterness from the very start all the way through the long dry finish. There was some malt to cut the edges and give balance. this was a biggy. I wish their beers were more readily available.
