mribm (416), Hurley, New York, USA Sep 18, 2002 One of the greatest beers I’ve had. Very expensive in my area (@ $20.00 per 6-pack), so it will be only for special occasions. I LOVE hops and this beer proudly displays a ton of them! VTDeerHunter (51), Vermont, USA Jun 4, 2003 Nice, lightly hazy, orange color with a thick head. I can smell the hops from a couple feet away. Rich hoppy aroma, medium body, strong hoppy flavor that stays a long time. It starts bitter sweet, with a lot of flral notes and then fades to just floral. I can definitely pick out Cascade and Saaz hops. Yum! One of the best IPAs I've had so far. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA Mar 19, 2007 Updated: Aug 14, 2007Oh my gosh! This is awesome, one of the best if not the best IPA I have ever tasted. Just delicious and just the right amount of extra hopiness. I am usual hestiant to get a double IPA, but this is worth a try everybody - just great!!!! bbp182 (254), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2007 The appearance is a hazy, cloudy, light amber/orange. Nice foam and lightish tannish/cream colored foam. The aroma is fruity, citrusy hops. Little maltiness, alcohol sneeks into your nostrile. Bitter aroma also. The taste is WOW! Very BITTER! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT BITTERNESS! Well balanced. Maybe, just maybe [and you can quote me on this] the BEST Imperial IPA I have ever had. Fruity, a little malty, just enough bitter and malt to be perfectly well balanced. Alcohol sneeks in there, but not overwhelming. It sneeks in there. The aftertaste is great and lingers in your mouth. Not a bad bitter, just PERFECT! Acknud (622), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Nov 4, 2007 What can I say? I am going against popular opinion. I rank this among the highest. Great head and lacing. Piney/citrus taste that lingers well. Bottle was cool too.
