Jul 26, 2004 Clear amber witha small off-white head. Citurs and pine hop aroma. Flavor is sweeter than expected but the hops are here in abundance. Medium-full body quite sticky. Nice beer not too over the top.

Oct 3, 2007 Pint, on tap at henry’s in Portland. Chosen to drink alongside my entree of kaffir lime and mango cream sauce smothered scallops. Bo head as it was delivered to the table, sort of a still-looking dark amber. Nose was mostly piney, grassy, slight notes of alcohol. First sip, I was a bit disappointed in the overall thinness of the body. This is because it is listed as an Imperial IPA and I knew the alcohol content was hovering around 10%. I shouldn’t read the description beforehand, as i would be telling you what a great IPA this is. It was especially hoppy throughout and offered just a slight caramel malt sweetness in the middle. Piney and dry alcoholic aftertaste was really nice and well suited for wiping the sweet mango cream from my palate. A bit higher gravity or maybe just a bit more malt shining through and this would be a highly sought after treat!

Clear reddish amber appearance, predominant hoppy aroma. Drysish, strong hop palate, fairly fruity, puckering snappy dry finish.

Oct 3, 2005 GABF 2005. Although I loved their Jaywalker, I wasn’t happy with either the IPA or this Double IPA. Darkened gold color. Very mild hop nose, with a light hint of flowers and grapefruit. Medium body with a slick texture. Approachable hop flavor, very mild overall, without much complexity.

Aug 19, 2007 Updated: Aug 20, 2007Draft at Taphouse Grill in Seattle. I just wanted a quick beer, and their menu failed to mention it was an IMPERIAL IPA. Don’t get me wrong, I love Imperial IPA’s, but when you only have a few minutes to kill, they are not the best beer for drinking quickly. Pours deep copper amber with retentive off white head. Citrus hop and malty aroma. Initial flavor of caramel and toasty malts, with a pronounced piney hop middle and some citrus accents in the flavor. Finish is dry, with an herbal bitterness that I can only describe as a mix of sage, pine, and mint (columbus hops?)- which made me think of Diamond Knot Industrial IPA. Alcohol hidden well.

Jun 29, 2003 A great IPA. I have not had one that is this complex in character. Good solid dark color with a good head. Great hop profile that doesn't overpower. Drinkable and good.
