Feb 16, 2009 I think I rather aptly explained the aroma as being a resiny pine branch that was left in my armpit for a while and got tangy. Poured a beautiful golden-copper color with a one-finger head that stuck around for a little while. The flavour was HOOOPS with, what’s the word? HOOOOPS blended in for a distinctly hoppy experience. Finish was bitter. I am not a huge fan of the IPA style, so this bitter hoppy IPA was not for me.

Feb 15, 2009 Now this bills itself as an "Imperial Amber" but it’s difficult not to judge this against a DIPA. With that in mind, this is probably the hoppiest beer I have had. Carbonated and hard grapefruit juice. This gets thrown in with Hopslam, but i think the slam is the superior brew.

Feb 15, 2009 Color a little clear, orange. Hop character is quite delicious. Really has that citrusy-grapefruit character to it. Resinous, but not overpoweringly bitter or harsh. Very smooth. Nice malty body, however I noted that it was a little watery on the finish, probably the only thing that detracts from this rating. Floral, tart, citrusy, just a very good IPA.

Feb 15, 2009 Bottled. Pours tawny, with an arangy tan head. Citrusy, piny nose. Flavor is resin, citrus, pine, and alcohol. A Wonderfully bitter, resiny, oily finish. Great stuff.

Feb 14, 2009 Updated: Mar 8, 2009Big thanks to ucusty. Pours a glowing orange amber with a small off white head that leaves a spicy lacing. Aroma perfectly combines citric hops with floral and honey elements. Flavor follows, sweet, hoppy, bitter, floral, perfectly harmonized. Nothing here is off or overbrewed. Medium to full body, silk smooth on the palate with a pleasant hops fire.

Feb 13, 2009 Clear copper orange; thick frothy beige head. Exotic fruity hop aroma; not quite clean; bread crumbs; vanlila custard(??). Light to medium body. Very high drinkability; I surprise myself with how quickly I reach for this with other beers to choose from. Will rerate soon.

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with a one finger white head. Aromatics are earthy, honey, pine, grapefruit and a nuance of citrus. Thin malty caramel with some mild piney sticky earthy bitterness. A bit dry with some mild hop resins. Extremely awesome IPA, huge fan.
