Aroma is fruits - grapefruit, and citrus flavors. Palate is not as smooth as Oak Aged Un eartly - more hops present. A great beer. ANTS IN THE SKY! 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA

It was only a few blocks from constitution hall. I love imperial ipa’s and this did not dissapoint. It had a definite right coast vibe to it. The hops were to fierce, but still bold, wet and flowery.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 13, 2009 Nice amber-straw body with what I am referring to from now on as a ’well articulated billowing head’. Big floral hop notes up front. Big doses of rich caramel malt that is sweet and smooth. Wide range of fruit notes, mainly orange and grapefruit citrus. High alcohol was well hidden. Mellow hop pine and light resin. Great drink - not over the top hop, a bit on the simple side of construction but really well done. jblendy (518), Midland Park, New Jersey, USA

The hops are very flavorful and bitter along the citrus vein but the malts are there too, providing a thickness for the bitterness and sweetness. This beer was very full bodied and thick, syrupy. It looks beautiful too. elihapa (1072), Honolulu, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 7, 2009 Bomber, split three ways. A mixture of Hoppe and Unearthly? Sounds like a recipe for fun! Pours gold with a creamy head, certainly appearing to be a blend of the two mentioned beers. Aroma is very citrusy, with crisp lemon, kumquat, and grapefruit. Flavor has distinct hop profile, but with a mellowness that is uncharacteristic of DIPAs. There is a distinct lemon peel and flower profile, balanced beautifully with pale malt. Finish hides alcohol as good as any beer I’ve tried, also managing to mask much of the bitterness one would expect from a hoppy DIPA. A delicious blend, if anything I found the mid-body and finish to be missing just a little umph in flavor (or was it just the lack of bitterness?) Vac (2394), San Diego, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Pours with a clear, copper body topped by a medium thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet yet hoppy with fruity notes, a touch of bitterness, floral notes and a hint of pine and grapefruit. Medium to full bodied and remarkably smooth. gogaterz (20), Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Mar 5, 2009 Absolutely one of my favorite beers of all time. I’ve taken many trips to Europe and several to Belgium and I rank this beer up with the Trappist Ales as a favorite.
