Jul 27, 2008 bomber into sniffer. Great dark, hazzy copper/orange pour with a big creamy off-white head with a bit of a copper/orange tint. The fine carbonation bibles provide for great lace. Very rich and heavy aroma of citrus and pine hops coupled with a heavy doughy/caramel malt character. It almost smells more like an American barley wine than a IIPA. The flavor is perfectly balanced with doughy pale malt upfront, and a great juicy citrus (orange and grapefruit) character lingering behind, which works great with the malt. There is very little to no alcohol flavor and a nice resiny hop finish. This brew is hoppy, but not insanely so, yet it seems to have a perfect balance between flavoring and bittering hops. Creamy and coating on the palate with fine carbonation. Medium to heavy body - warming on the stomach. Overall: really a stunning brew. There is not much else to say.

Jul 27, 2008 Thanks to Honkeybra for introducing me to Binny’s. This is about it as far as Double IPAs. I guess I can die happy now.

Jul 16, 2008 Bomber thanks to EithCubes. Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium white head. The aroma is tons of grapefruit, some rich malts, and honey. The flavor of this is like a freshly cut grapefruit covered in honey with a side of fresh fruit. Some woody aspects too. A thick and creamy mouthfeel. There is a ton of flavor here, sweet and bitter, but very smooth, not notice of alcohol expect a nice warmth in the finish. Just amazing.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle, thanks TikiE for driving the long distance for this very special beer. Pours an orange beer with a thin white head. Aroma is grapefruit hoppy insanity. Flavor is sweet and extremely hoppy with grapefruit notes. Full body with a bite in the end, bitter finish. Great beer!

does not count  Jul 12, 2008 No pretentious description here, just two words for hop lovers: religious experience!
Nevertheless, this amazing beer is in short supply even in its home state of Indiana and (apparently) therefore, way overpriced at typically $14 for a single 20oz. bottle. Give me a break!!!

Jul 12, 2008 Big and crazy IPA. Very pronounced floral aroma, hop heaven, almost sweet. Beautious orange/amber pour with a head that stands up a while but lacey and will not tickle your nose. A great finish of citrus and pretty clean as well. Excellent presentation of an Imperial IPA and one that should satisfy any hop head.
