Bitter, big, and delicious. Certainly best when fresh. Bought the last case i could find. MFootball (11), USA

10% ABV, and it really kicks you after a couple, but the beer does not have an alcoholy taste.
I much prefer this to anything out there (including other Bell’s offerings). My favorite beer, hands down. nefarious (203), Clarkston, Michigan, USA

Wonderful aroma! citrus fruitsand sweetness.The flavor is much of the same with grapefruit, peaches, pine and tangarines. This is my favorite beer. Perfect! You would never know it was 10%. A true testament to craft brewers around the world. II will re-rate this beer every year becasue it is my favorite.......I Love this beer unconditionally. Everything I have said before I will say again the best in the worl batch number 8908. kosko20 (302), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA

| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jan 20, 2008 This is the perfect double IPA - floral, great nose, full bodies, lingering palate - hoppy and bitter. Still missed the honey par, but how can a chowder head like beer virgin slam the beer if he doesn’t like hops...stick with Miller Lite - BONEHEAD!!!! DWestrick (239), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA

Terrific imperial IPA - massive amounts of Hops but incredibly smooth finish. Probably the best IPA I’ve had - remarkable beer brewmaster420 (6), Canton, Ohio, USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Great beer smells like heaven and tasts like you are in heaven and after a couple of these bad boys you might think you are in heaven umphan (2), Michigan, USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Best beer ever assembled. I’ve got 10 bottles of the first run left in my basement, they age great. This years run says "brewed with honey" on the label is the only real difference. A local place here bought a keg for $220.00 and it could be better off of the tap. I’m not sure though, I bought a case of this years batch and from the bottle to my HQ crystal pilsner glass it smells just as juicy. Enjoy!
