Aug 15, 2009 2008-08-07. Lightly hazy golden amber body. (3+) Fruity aroma, light tropical fruit, light leafy resin. (7+) Flavour is relatively mild, resiny hops, leafy, modest bitterness throughout. Average palate. Decent, the alcohol is quite restrained throughout and it it is very drinkable, but has less oomph than I expected. Growler, Shared at Derek’s by Grub

Aug 12, 2009 I tried this beer at Stony Brook Beverage from theor Growler Bar. This is an amaxing Imperial IPA. It was smooth as could be. Clear golden-orange color with a whitish head. Piney hop aroma along with sweet malt. Flavor is hops, citrus, and sweet caramel malt. Well-balanced with a medium-full, somewhat bready palate.

Aug 8, 2009 The appearance is an amber color, slightly darker and more brown than a regular IIPA. The aroma is caramel malts, floral hops, and a musty, sweatsock odor (but is overall decent). The flavor is piney hops, caramel, malty, bready, very enjoyable. The finish is floral hops. The mouthfeel is medium, not especially thick for the style. Overall quite enjoyable.

Aug 8, 2009 Cask (gravity) at GBBF 2009, Day 1 @ 9.0%. Hit the spot nicely. Quite pale gold colour. Very strong leafy hop character, accentuated by the dry-hopping. Doesn’t stray into the sweet, sticky territory of some DIPAs I’ve tried and has enough biscuity malt backing to avoid being one-dimensional. Mouthfeel is exceedingly firm and there is an intense lingering bitterness in the aftertaste that tends towards astringence but stops short of that.

Aug 7, 2009 Cask Conditioned Gravity Dispense GBBF 09. A crystal clear golden coloured beer with an off-white ring of bubbles. The aroma is lovely with citrus and piney notes. A good deal of lime in this big nose. The taste has good bitterness with more lemon and lime citricity. A little prickly heat in the sting at the end. A glorious body and a good beer.

Aug 4, 2009 Draught at GBBF 2009. An amber coloured pour with a good white head. Aroma of hops/pine. Malty, hoppy, fruity, almost sweet. Very nice indeed. Well balanced. A complex quality DIPA. I could get wrecked on this!
