An absolutely wonderful floral aroma. This is really nice. Relatively smooth considering the abundance of hops throughout. Not overly bitter. Excellent.

Big-time drink for serious IPA-fans only. Cloudy golden body with a huge billowing head. Moderate caramel sweetness with a very nice bready malt character. Floral hops all over the place with a good pine component and light citrus tones. Full bodied, creamy smooth mouthfeel. Everything you want out of a PNW IPA. Glad I picked this one up.

This Imperial India Pale Ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head, with good retention and nice sticky lacing. The aroma is floral and piney hops with some sweet malt. A medium bodied Imperial IPA. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are grapefruity, piney and floral. Decent carbonation, I wonder if the bottle conditioning is kicking in. This beer has that “I bet you can tell where I came from” Pac NW hop character to it. It’s a fairly bitter beer, but there is some malt sweetness at the start and the middle to help balance the hop assault at the finish. Nice little yeast shot at the end of the bottle. Hides the 9% alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is a lingering bitterness.

bottle courtesy of rodger. A very beautiful pour. Huge, fluffy head. Lacing. Muted hop nose. Pine and grassy hop flavor. Coats the tongue. Rather creamy mouthfeel. A nice suprise.

Got this at Market of Choice in Ashland , Oregon for $4.49. From a 22 oz bottle this poured a cloudy orange color with two inches of of-white head that lasted for quite a long time. Nose of citrus and pine hops, with caramel malts. Rich mouthfeel. Flavor is nicely bitter.with hints of fruit. Finish is average and nicely bitter. I thought this tasted just like a DIPA, despite the name, so when I found this described as an Imperial.Double IPA I felt relieved. A nice brew, but then DIPA is my favorite type.
