12 oz bottle at 2.75$ @ Winooski. Pours clear amber with a medium head. Nose is hoppy. Very fruity, piny and a bit floral. Some alcohol and spices also. Nice complexity on the nose. Taste is quite bitter but with some mellow fruits at the same time. Finish is very bitter and fruity. Alcohol is quite present but goes well with the bitterness. A bit sweet but quite crisp and dry overall. I am a big fan of the 60 minute IPA but this is much better. A bit less drinkable but much more complex and rich.

Poured with a nice but non-lasting 2 finger head. Aroma of sweet hops and a matching taste. Very sweet citrus notes. I say citrus, but it actually tastes like there’s a lemon/orange peel in the beer. Nice taste, bittersweet palate. Overall, i’ve had better IIPA’s, but this isn’t bad

(draught at Holy Grail Pub) pours clear orange with nice lasting creamy head. Nose of fruits, sweet bread, and citrus hops with light pine aroma too. Taste is alcohol, white pepper, fruity bread, and syrupy caramel malts. Finishes thick, creamy and syrupy. A nice dipa but not top tier for me.

Slight scent of saramel ... dark mahogany appearance with a great, foamy head ... the carbonation was slight and the beer tasted a little syrups on the tongue, smooth finish w/ a nice, bitter bite ... I love the steadiness of the flavors. It’s sweet and barely hoppy but drops hints of caramel and dark chocolate.

12 oz bottle, pours a cola-like brown color with noticeable head. Lacing is prominent on sides of glass but retreats quickly. Aroma is fresh and floral, some roastiness. Taste is bitter but complemented with some toastiness and a little citrus. Some maltiness noted. Palate is very full; you can feel the carbonation. Really nice beer, very satisfying.

Goes down incredibly smoothly for an imperial IPA. Has great depth in flavor, beginning with a hoppy assault on the taste buds and finishing with sweet citrus undertones. One of the fullest flavored and most complex beers I’ve ever had.
