Sep 19, 2009 Bomber. Poured hazy medium orange, sporting a creamy, well-retained cap of eggshell head. The aroma opened with juicy peaches and apricots with lesser floral notes over sweet caramel, honey, and light maple syrup.. fine initial impression. The flavor had a whole bunch of biscuity malts paired with maple and vanilla at the core.. bitterness was a little lighter than anticipated (over the first 3/4 of the drink), with black pepper, light fruit skins, and dry floral character.. finished with tacky wet grains and biscuits topped by an assertive bitterness. Medium-plus bodied, but slick on the palate.. tacky and ugly in certain places.. just OK overall feel. There was some good stuff in here, but it wasn’t a great IIPA.

Sep 13, 2009 Draught at the Horse Brass.
Glowing amber-orange color with lace. Faint aroma—slight citrus hop, light malts. Caramel malt flavor with huge hop bitterness. Peppery, grassy, relatively light malt presence. A huge hop showcase, but unbalanced and rather unpleasantly bitter, although more caramel kicked in as it warmed up.

Sep 12, 2009 Hazy golden color out of the bottle. lasting foamy white head. Floral grapefruit hop nose. Lots of fresh hops in this beer, with grapefruit rind and pine with buscuity malts. Earthy beer with a full mouthfeel. Very enjoyable, hoppy beer.

Sep 11, 2009 22 oz bottle. Love the name! It smells like reefer! Ha ha ha ha! No, seriously, this is one of the best hoppy beers I’ve had. The label says Imperial Pale, but it says on here Imperial IPA? Whatever. If you’re a hophead, this is the beer for you. Smells of citrus, strong piney hops...reefer, yes. Excelente.

Aug 25, 2009 Small tan head with good retention and a nice lace. Hazy, gold orange color. Nose is nice, fruity, citrusy, lightly woodsy. Med/full body, nice oilyness, resiny, mouth watering. Juicey hop flavors, melons, pineapple, citrus, all thats good in the world. Dry, fruity biting finish. A swell sipper. 9%? Sweeet! Props to BMan for the bomber!
