Enjoyed at home in 750ml Ceramic. Pours hazy dark gold, with tropical pineapple sweet nose. Smacks you in the face with hops with the first sip, very sharp (almost harsh, but not), the malt-sweetness balances nicely. Cannot taste any of the fruity aroma, just hops, alcohol, hops, then bitterness. Tingly, full-boidied on the tongue & aftertaste lingers. Surprisingly drinkable for an imperial, would order again.

Jan 3, 2010 Cloudy with low carbonation. Orange golden colour. Sweet american hop aroma. Very hoppy. Sweet malt base with enourmous American hop bitterness that lasts and lasts. Very nice on the palate too. Cheers to Adam Page.

Dec 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy orange amber with a thin white head. Citrus, and malt. A little oxidized. Medium bodied and sweet. Finishes with a big grapefruit bitterness. Really bitter.

Dec 24, 2009 Hazy amber pour with a half finger beige head. Aroma is resinous, earthy, and bursting with citrus notes. Flavor is sappy, citrusy, and piney. Excellent hop arrangement and character. Malt profile is caramel and toast. Palate is medium to full bodied with a great amount of effervescence and a sticky resinous finish. Unique and delicious.

Dec 20, 2009 Expensive Bottle. Aroma is bready and a little grapefruit. In the mouth it is sweet and and not overly bitter, due to the high alcohol - perhaps a bit more hoppy than say brutal bitter but not terribly. Nice citric tang on the back end. For the price of the ceramic I would say it isn’t worth it, but if you can get it on tap give it a go. A good beer. If I could get it in regular bottles I would drink it more often.

Dec 5, 2009 One of my favorite IPA’s. Also love Dogfish 90 Minute and Rogue Double Bastard. Rogue has great body, great balance, clean finish. Nice aroma.

Nov 30, 2009 On the nose I find pears, bubblegum, sour apple and a distinct alcohol. Lovely.
Nice tangy bitterness in the flavours, but not too strong. Lasts forever. Lots of fruit in between.

Nov 2, 2009 Citrus aroma with grapefruit. Also smell a hint of cascde hops. Hazy golden appearance with almost no head. Very citrusy hop flavor as well. Alcohol hidden well. Good carbonation, medium body. Would I drop $ 18 on a 750mL again? No. Is it a good beer? Definitely.
