Oct 8, 2009 Sampled at WBF in Durham - poured a hazy golden color with a white head - aroma of hops, citrus, pine and caramel. The flavor was a nice hoppy grapefruit with a piney resin. Again - how does this stuff come out of a can tasting this good? Loving it.

Oct 7, 2009 12oz can, deep golden color, thin white head, some lace. Interestingly complex flavor, adequate hops. A bit overrated but not overpriced.

Oct 5, 2009 This is a pleasant, fairly well balanced, but simple, uncomplicated double IPA, easily drinkable beer with some character but not much.
Golden amber, it has a medium light tan head with hints of orange, slowly diminishing to a foamy ring with a tiny bit of weak lace.
The aroma is sweet, full, and flowery with grapefruit, grapefruit ring, raisin, hints of resin, and canned pear.
The taste is grapefruity with plenty of grape and raisin, caramelly grain. It’s fairly sweet with dry zetiness and very faint bitterness in the finish but lingering. It has unusual bitter-sweet balance, neither being leaning much to being sweet or bitter, but has dominant hop character.

Oct 3, 2009 Pours an orange/amber color with an extremely thin white head. Strong aroma of hops and pine. Flavor consists of pine, huge hops, and a hint of caramel, with a bitter aftertaste. This is one that I really wanted to try and I am very glad that I did. Awesome that this Impy IPA is in a can. Way to go Oskar Blues!

Sep 30, 2009 12 oz can. An imperial IPA in a can! Wonders never cease. Aroma is of hops, sweet caramel malt. Beautiful looking beer with a nice thick head which whittles down to a medium sized head which lasts throughout. Nice copper hue. Nice even balance between the malt and the hops. Strong alcohol aftertaste. It’s slightly watery, but not overbearingly so. Nice, nice beer (in a can!!).

Sep 23, 2009 Picked up a growler of this. Mild, piney aroma, and a glowing amber pour. Gordon is a rich, dry, chewy, hoppy, dark ale, with loads of aromatic pine flavor. Very fresh and foresty, and solidly supported with a some malty sweetness. I’m very glad I got it fresh - good IPAs are usually best this way.
