Bottle from the rater formally known as mjames, mj and osama bin laden ;-). Pour is a murky brown/ copper coller. Aroma is mostly citrus hops and sweet fruit. Taste is malty sweetness balanced by a nice amount of hops. Smooth palate and very drinkable.

Jul 17, 2008 12oz bottle pours a translucent orange with a thin, white head. Aroma is strong with pine, grapefruit, tropical fruits, oranges, pineapple and some spice. Flavor has a strong citrus bitterness, spicy malts, herbs, some biscuit, oranges, honeydew and a little toffee. Finish has a lot of bitterness and a medium body. Good, but not great.

Jun 29, 2008 Hazy orange beer with a thick sticky off-white head. Aroma is lightly orangey with a touch of tropical fruit as well. Thick and sweet smelling with a bit of honey. As it warms there is a bit of muskiness as well. It’s quite sweet and a bit of honey on the palate. Meh... not really my style of IIPA. It’s not really bad, it’s just not that good either.

Jun 24, 2008 Thanks to Polomagnifico for this. Pours a slightly honey orange amber with a thin off white head. Nice grapefruit juice, floral, and pine aroma, very nice focus on the hops. Taste is big hop BITE, with lots of grapefruit dryness and a little bit of malt. The bitter bang that starts it off mellow a bit in the finish, but there is a good amount of bitterness there just in case you forgot about it. A very tasty hop bomb and, dare I say, quite drinkable as there enough malt to keep it from being too bitter. Very nice.

Jun 16, 2008 typical orange medium head Impy IPA pour. Same with the aroma: citrus fruits and pine. Floral, citrus and a slight raison flavor with a bitter hop bite at the end with a nice finish. The mouthfeel is a touch thin. But not bad kinda run of the mill for this style, but dbl IPAs are one of my faves so its good.

Jun 14, 2008 Light hop aroma compared to the taste. Very hazy orange color with a small white head. Bitter beginning with a mix of citrus and floral hops finishing with a sweet hop taste.
