Jul 21, 2007 Excellent IIPA. Starts off bold with intense hop aromas. Pours a deep burnt orange with great head. Great lacing. Was a littel afraid of the taste, but after a few swigs I really enjoyed it. Very, very smooth and drinkable for a double IPA. IBU’s were just right and that really backed up the malt profile. Great malt choices, not too complex or too many varieties, which made this IIPA stand out. Extremely good

Jul 19, 2007 Aroma is an explosion of candied pineapple and tropical fruits. The flavor is good, but not as amazing as the aroma. Tastes of the same fruits as well as herbs.

Jul 13, 2007 Poured from a 22oz bottle into a shaker. This beer poured a crystal clear amber color with a thick, rocky beige head that slowly faded. Some extra thick lacing was left around the glass. The aroma consisted of grapefruit and caramel. The flavor was very nice!! It was made up of a strong caramel malt presence at the beginning that turned into a fruity, sweet, citrus bitterness. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and slightly oily. Just the right amount of carbonation. This beer was really well done. Excellent balance and flavor for a double IPA.

Jul 13, 2007 Pure copper in color, excellent clarity with an average off white head. Sticky lacing throughout the drink. Nose is excellent. Lots of piney hops, lemongrass, floral citrus and sweet malt. No hint of the 10% ABV. Medium in body with a crisp, slightly tangy finish. Hard to believe this is 100 IBUs. A very good beer from this local brewery.

Jul 10, 2007 22 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a hazy amber color with a thin off white head. Lacing is very light with tiny spots. Aroma is citrus hops and very light toasted malt. Flavor is mostly citrus hops, light esters, and light malt. The hops seem to linger on the palate which is a little thin. Alcohol is fairly well hidden. Medium body. A nice beer, but doesn’t quite fit the 2IPA bill. Thanks Wendy and Bill.

Jul 5, 2007 On cask @ B3W downtown Indy. Poured hazy (slightly) light copper with frothy off white head. This beer has a big citrus grapefruit hop aroma with sweet malts. The cask draft seems to have muted the hoppy aroma a bit. I taste grapefruit hop bitterness and sweeter grapefruit hop flavor along with a refreshing undercurrent of malt sweetness. Spot on IIPA on cask. Delicious.

Jul 3, 2007 #100 This is one of the beers that really got me excited about beer and imperial IPAs in general. Besides for celebrating this beer I would like to celebrate this brewery as a huge inspiration for me. 22 oz bomber purchased at
cardinal liquors. Dark golden off-white head. Great orange/piney aroma. Sweet with nice grapefruit bitterness, some kiwi as well. Med body. Very good overall and sorry that DrewBeerMe did not get a good bottle/did not enjoy it this year.
