Mar 15, 2009 Pours a golden orange with some haze and no head. THe aroma is floral and grassy with hints of citrus and biscuit malts too. Grassy, floral, light grapefruit skin hop flavor all on top of some dry bready/biscuity malts. Like the description said, this struck me as more of an imperial pale ale than a true IIPA. Dry light hoppy finish.

Mar 7, 2009 Draught. Poured orange with fast dissipating white head. Fruity, floral hoppy aroma. full hop flavour with a hop finish. Withal, there’s enough malt and caramel to keep this from being just another hop bomb.

Feb 17, 2009 Draft@ Brouwers Cafe. Murky gold color with a white head. Nice fresh grassy and floral hop aroma. Medium body. Good pine sap and sweet leaf hop flavors on a lightly sweet pale malt base brew. Very tasty.

Feb 17, 2009 A hazy golden pour with a very tiny head. Very fruity in both aroma and taste, grapefruit and a little orange-tangerine essence. Very thin and doesn’t really seem like it has the amount of alcohol I’d guess at from hearing it was an "Imperial" beverage.

Feb 5, 2009 Hazy, cloudy peach. Absent carbonation and only a ring of head. Citrusy and mildly fruity hop aroma and flavor. Doesn’t really taste "imperial,"not sure of the ABV, but this is quite quaffable and characterized my a fairly wide spectrum of hop flavor.
