Copper colored and clear with an off white decent to good head. Smell is of course very hoppy with cirtus and pine. Taste is pleasingly bitter, and grassy.

Oct 11, 2008 Bottle from Hollingshead. Pours a very rich, cloudy copper. Nose is sticky hop, caramel and grapefruit. Sweet malt and caramel flavor at the onset, which is quickly overtaken by hop and grapefruit bitterness. Very full mouthfeel with a perfect amount of stickiness. Excellent Imperial IPA.

Oct 9, 2008 Big resiny hop nose. A little body odor. Malts are hard to come by - a little sugar caramel. Sugary flavors with resiny hops. Long resiny bitter finish. Very bitter. Copper color.

Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a small white, foamy head. Aroma of bitter grassy, garlicy hops and bitter grapefruit. Flavor is super bitter and a little too bitter for my tastes (even as a hop lover). The hop profile is a little off too. Not a fan of this one.

Oct 7, 2008 Updated: Oct 8, 2008Bottle. Wow. Bottled grapefruit. Dead on grapefruit bitterness. Having a beer like this makes me realize how often I too loosely use grapefruit as a descriptor. This is the real deal. I’m sort of indifferent to grapefruit as a fruit, but here in beer form it tastes luscious to me. Quite a fluffy mouthfeel for a massive 9.2% IPA. And that’s all I got.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours a nice cloudy copper color with a creamy, glass-sticking head. Big pine and grapefruit hop aroma, with a touch of toasty caramel malt fighting through at times. Flavor follows the aroma, huge bitter grapefruit and pine flavors don’t even try to be balanced by the slightly sweet malt undertones. Thick and lingering on the palate, with a big bitter finish. Seriously tasty!
