Oct 31, 2009 Woooo weee! Hop heaven (if you like ’em hoppy!) This beer exudes hops through its pores! OMG! It may not get much hoppier! A lingering hoppy bitterness coats the palate like none other! Light in color but big in its forward bite! This may be one of the kings of hoppy brews? No doubt!

Oct 31, 2009 Smells of citrus and hops. Bitter hits you and then taste of a very well balanced hops and oranges with some sweetness. Extremely well balanced. A+ DIPA.

Oct 30, 2009 Bomber. Aromas of citrus, grapefruit. Appearance is cloudy gold, decent head, decent lacing. Good balance between the malt and hops. Hops are still the dominant flavor here. Very citrusy flavor. Not quite as full-bodied as I was hoping, but definitely not watery. Good IPA, but I’ve had better.

Oct 30, 2009 22 oz. bottle- Pours cloudy orange with a creamy head, aroma is of orange peel and bitter hops. The flavor is extarordinary, hoppy yet balanced with a nice sweetness. This is one of Stone Brewing Companys best beers, and probably the best Imperial IPA’s I’ve ever had.

Oct 26, 2009 Nice dark golden color. Aroma has big time hops, lemon peels, and some floral aroma in the back end. Taste is mainly hops, oak, and citrus. Has a nice bite in the end. Good stuff!

does not count  Oct 26, 2009 22oz bottle. Poured a golden yellow with a white head that dissipated slowly with some lacing. My impression in chronological order was: "Mmm, smells like hops. Whoa, tastes like being punched. Mmm, aftertaste like grapefruit." Overall a very nice beer, but not one for those who are shy about hops (obviously).
