Mar 14, 2008 Bottle courtesy of drewbeerme. Pour is a clear amber with a minimal white head and decent lacing. Nose is citrus hops and sweet caramel malts. Palate is grapefruit and pine with a sweet malt background. Slight bitter finish that doesn’t last long. Decent IIPA.

Mar 12, 2008 bottle courtesy of drewbeerme. Thanks!
Pours a slightly hazy orange amber color with a big lasting offwhite head. Smell is big sweet fruity fresh hops. Awesome nose. Taste is much milder, but still nice. Light bitterness, fruity sweetness, nice moderate hop flavor and mild bitterness. Soft carbonation and slightly creamy body. Flavor is lacking a hop punch that is really needed and expected. EASILY the mildest Impreial IPA I’ve ever had. I thought it was mild for a regular IPA... Wow. Still incredibly drinkable for that reason, and the 9% is well hidden. Nice beer.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottle. I loved this beer! Poured a glowing amber color, lighthead similar to arcadia hopmouth. Crisp refreshing hops and malts. I felt special drinking this one. The super hops were incredible. Not quite like Hopslam but still one of the top beers I have had.

Mar 11, 2008 Bottled. Poured clear, sparkling lighter orange with a stately cap of off-white head. The aroma had a sweet, succulent blend of hops above all else (orange peel, perfume, deeper grapefruit, and perhaps some Amarillo).. toffee and pale malts backed ’em up. The flavor was led by slightly sour, quite bitter light fruits and perfumey hoppage.. pale malts gave a dry, semi-sweet backing.. spicy, dry finish with a lot of bitterness and some alcohol heat. Thicker-bodied, warm, and dry on the palate with an extra hit of bitterness a few seconds after the swallow.. felt OK. Solid brew!

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to Styles. The pour was amber in color, nice off-white colored head. The aroma was solid, perfume floral notes on top of grapefruits. The flavor was full hoppy grapefruits, floral notes, bittering hops, some orangey type malts. The mouthfeel was highly carbonated, bitter dryness, tingly action on the back of the mouth. Nice stuff, thanks, Chris!

Mar 9, 2008 Pours clear orange with a pure white head. Lots of carbonation bubbles. Lots of sticky lace. The aroma is big with pine and grapefruit, but comes off harsh due to alcohol. Super hoppy flavor. Aggressive, leaf flavored bitterness. Long finish Medium body. High carbonation. Dry finish. Good, but the finish hangs around longer than I’d like.
