does not count  Feb 20, 2006 Got to give this one an A++. I really love IPA’s and this one to drink. I must say that I am a local here in Bend, Oregon where Deschutes is located and this is an outstanding beer. I see that some reviews were not like my high praise. All I can say is "try this one for sure". The hops really jump out and tingle your tounge. The best!

Jul 6, 2007 A great hoppy IPA, unexpectedly hoppy. A hop combination that gives off an explosive aroma. A heavy full body that comes with imperial IPA’s and a creamy brownish, orange color that had a heavy tinted off-white head. A great IPA.

Jun 1, 2006 Updated: Jul 21, 2006A wonderful IPA by Deschutes brewery This beer pours a deep golden hue with a nice billowy head. Spider web-like lacing coats the inside of the glass nicely. This is truly an IPA done right. Piney and citrus scents are very forward in the nose. Likewise, the flavor presents a wonderful piney taste along with a cornucopia of fresh citrus fruits, especially grapefruit and a bit of lemon. The malt does a good job balancing everything out. The texture is spot on, great mouth feel. This is one of those brews that leaves your lips sticky and your tongue coated with resinous hop flavor. This is a big beer, but nothing the average IPA fan couldn’t handle. I have always been a fan of Deschutes beers, but this is so far the best one I’ve had to date. I was able to find these very easily, but I can’t find them anywhere now, so if you see them then I highly recommend picking it up! It’s a great beer at a great value (around $5.00 for a bomber here in Colorado).

Mar 11, 2006 This beer offers a hearty aroma of hops and caramel. It is copper colored with a thick light cashew colored head. This beer offers a robust taste of hops wit hints of pine and caramel. It finishes with the strong presence of hops and hints of caramel.
