On tap at Brouwer’s. Pours a light amber with a smallish white head. Nice aroma - lots of hops on the nose, with just enough balance - but it’s very hop-forward. Flavor follows suit, though I’m not sure I’d call this an imperial IPA - it drinks like a regular IPA. If I plop it in that category, it’s pretty good. Certainly not bad at all.

Nov 2, 2009 draft at brouwers washington beer fest. pours a crystal clear dark amber with coppery overtones. creamy thin sandy head with thick sheets of lace. nice sweet fruity orange and apricot nose. creamy medium body with soft carb. biscuit, toast, grapefruit, and blood orange mid palate. a little bit of tang near the finish, maybe dms, not sure. very promising otherwise.

Mar 20, 2009 Tap at Naked City. Aroma is very citrusy with grapefruit, orange and lime. Some underlying sweet caramel notes. Pours a murky brownish amber with a thin head and decent lacing. The flavor is vibrant citrus up front with a sweet-ish caramel backbone providing a nice juicy, fruity IIPA. Finish was bright and crisp, but not resiny enough for me and how I like my IIPA’s. Still very pleasant and damn drinkable.
