Apr 7, 2008 Bottle from 2007. Orange blonde color. Grapefruit, oily hops and red berries in the aroma. Very hoppy, leathery flavor with grapefruit and red berries, lingering on in the aftertaste. Pineapple. Dry out effect in the aftertaste. Fairly well balanced in spite of the huge hop character, and well matured.

Apr 5, 2008 Bottle from AllAboutStout. Pours hazy orange/yellow. Beautiful creamy, finger thick head. Nose is a wonderful blend of resin hops, pineapple and malt. Flavor is just as good as the aroma, with a sweetness of pineapple and malt, with a clean, dry, hoppy bitterness in the finish. Great brew.

Mar 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a large white head. Aroma has some caramel but is donimated by the hoppy citrus smell. The flavor starts sweet but never really has much hop bitterness. has a medium body and the finish lingers for a bit. Easy to drink but a bit non-descript for an Imperial Indai Pale ale.

Mar 19, 2008 Bottled. 2007 Summer Edition. Pours out in a hazy pale amber colour with a rich white foam. Compact hop aroma of pine-needles, grapefruit and grass with a dense yet elegant malt base of caramel and spunned sugar. Medium to full-bodied with strong notes of caramel, pine-needles, mild cedar-wood, orange-peels and grapefruit. Full and compact mouthfeel without being way too bold. Long bitter finish of grapefruit, blood oranges, leaves and grass with a solid caramelly malt foundation. Tastes great but why did I saved it in my closet until mid February? I cannot imagine how this tasted fresh last summer...why did I cellared it? I’m an idjit! Great, great DIPA with a bold yet elegant palate. World-class. Yeas, I need more stuff from Alesmith.

Mar 15, 2008 Pours a hazy amber with fizzy white head. Aromas of pine and citrus fruit. Flavors of hops and citrus. Alcohol is hidden well and this one finishes smooth. Good solid beer.

Mar 13, 2008 Bomber, courtesy after4ever. This rating has been kicking around for a while, waiting for me to enter it... probably a year or more? Pours hazy copper with an enormous white head. Incredibly inviting aroma of fruit, grapefruit, caramel. Medium body and carbonation. All the goodness from the nose translates into the taste. Dry finish.

Mar 11, 2008 Bottle 07 Vintage.
Pours nice golden yellow with a lively two finger head. Smell is straight pine, citrus and a touch of sweetness. Taste is a sublime hop bomb. Straigh forward pine hops that mute any malt. As it warms up, the malt comes alive and balances everthing out with a nice caramel/vanilla note.. Carbonation was dialed in prefect. One of the best DIPA ’s I have had in a long time.
