Tap. Small lasting head. Pine nuts in the nose. Nice pine and citrus taste with a slight sweetness before a bitter bite. Finishes strong with more than a hint of alcohol.

This aromatic IIPA poured a dark reddish copper with a thick tan head. The darkness surprised me, it was similar to rootbeer in color. The aroma was a strong and fresh floral hops. Sweet malts are very evident, with an overall dark character to go with the coloration. Caramel comes to mind and for a second as the nice bitter finish overcomes you dark chocolate, which is quickly replaced by a bitter hoppiness that lingers. The feel is crisp and refreshing, but a bit thin. A great beer.

Oh my, this is very good. Of the microbrew restaurant kind of places that I have been this is by far the best beer from that kind of place that I have tried. Wonderful floral hops, sharp and fruity. Malts on back counteract nicely. Sharp, crisp and very clean.

Solid grapefruit and earthy hops emanating from a hazy, copper brew with a frothy off-white head, I anticipated some fun with hops in the drink... and I wasn’t disappointed. Good bitter drink on top of a solid caramel malt backbone, this Imp. IPA hit the spot and left me wanting another. Lingering bitter finish... muchly appreciated.<br /><br /><font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=2124><u>Emmett’s Ale House, Downers Grove, IL</u></a><font size=-1><br />
