Feb 12, 2009 Glad someone shared this one with me. Pours a golden body with a white head. Floral honey hoppiness with some grapefruit and pine. Nice alcohol warming with a mild bitterness. Decent.

Feb 11, 2009 I have had a couple of other beers from them and this one just wasn’t as good. Pours a clear gold, much lighter than I expected and a small lacy white head. Aroma of malt, with hops being a second almost which I wouldn’t expect from an Imperial IPA. Not much citrus at all, but a little floral hops. Higher ABV for the flavor in my opinion. Average.

Feb 8, 2009 Much better than anything else I’ve tried from these guys...this one was drinkable!!! Crystal clear brass color with a small fizzy head that left minimal lacing. Aroma is more fruity than most IIPAs; not citrus and pine but more tropical influences of papaya and mango. Flavor is Del Monte fruit cocktail in a can and actually has a slight metallic quality. Medium mouthfeel and pretty good!!! Finally!!!

Feb 7, 2009 Bottle (batch 207) from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear golden color with a 1/2 finger thick off white head. Lacing is a nice coverage of tiny spots. Aroma is toasted doughy malt, fruity esters, and floral hops. Flavor is sweetened toasted malt, esters, and a lighter hop presence than I expected. I get a hint of metal in the finish. Medium body. A decent beer, but lacks a little in all departments.

Feb 4, 2009 Along with the Punk IPA there was the Hardcore IPA at my brewstore so I got em both, heres the other review.
Initial impression: Kind of like 90 minute IPA, but more dry.
Pours a perfectly clear light copper with some mild head and leaves mild lacing.
Aroma of some carmely malt (guessing crystal and a touch of munich) and some sweet east coast style hop aroma.
Flavor is thick and rich with some good creaminess. Carmel, cream and a touch of peach/apple flavor profile.
Palate is rich, smooth, a touch creamy, and definitely high finishing gravity, I like.
Overall its pretty good, but lacking a certain something. I think the flavor compounds are good, but need to be kicked up a notch. Maybe a higher mash temperature and a bit more grain and hops would make an amazing beer.

Feb 2, 2009 Bomber courtesy of lukin013. Aroma of may be some apriccots or peaches.. Cloudy yellow body with white head. Flavor had a citric acid bitterness thoughout. Seemed like I was chewing on citrus with the thick body for this brew. Definently unique kind of IIPA from the ones I’ve had before.
