Commercial Description:
Great Divide brews Titan IPA for hop disciples -- independent beer drinkers seeking out robust, flavorful beers characterized by their abundance of hops, flavor, aroma and bitterness. As a big aggressively-hopped India Pale Ale, Titan IPA fills this bill -- beginning with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishing with a rich, malty sweetness that is carefully balanced with crisp hop bitterness. 65 International Bittering Units (IBUs).

Poured a pale copper color with a one finger tall head that only offered up simple lacing, nothing dramatic. The aroma was mostly pine hops with some lighter floral and thin citrus notes. The flavor was mainly pine hops without enough citrus or malt to balance it out and offer some sweetness. A metallic twang was noticed as well. Thin mouthfeel with a good finish.

This is the bear that sparked my interest and made me fall in love with IPA’s. I have rarely found one to match it in overall palate, flavor, and finish. I love hops and so this beer never dissapoints.

Bottle from Mitra @ home, a regular in my fridge. Clear orange/amber colour, white head. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, fruits. Flavour is malts, grapefruit, hops, some sweet fruits, nice bitterness. Bitter finish. Very well balanced, really nice.

A good and not overly bitter IPA. The aroma is flowery and the bitterness is not blatant. In the taste however it’s more dominant.

Bottle at The Raleigh Times. Great Divide always releases quality beers and this Titan IPA is no exception. Bold and robust in it’s malty flavour, it stands up well in the ever-increasing circle of hop bombs. A heady off white layer of foam tops off the orange copper body. Piney, floral sweet smell. Taste is hoppy and a bit syrupy sweet; but balanced. Finishes crisp and clean with lingering bitterness and an emphasis on some citrus notes.

In the bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA.
Pours amber orange with a pretty decent head. Strong citrus and pine aroma. Very complex and balanced flavor. Good mouth feel. You pick up several different things on each part of your palate. Great citrus notes common in a lot of IPAs but also a crazy pine/black tea component. Thats the first time I’ve ever noticed black tea so prevalent in an IPA. I really like this beer! Solid effort. Will definitely be seeking this out on tap!!

Grapefruit hops, caramelly dry finnish and a nice mouthfeel. Can’t help but to love this.

12 oz bottle from a 6 pack from Cardinal Liquors (Frankfort, IL). Poured a fiery orangish amber hue hazed with a nice offwhite head that laces very well. Aromas are largely floral and caramel malt, striking a fine balance. Some sweeter citrus notes waft in as well. Initial is very good, very bitter hop presence balanced by a very good caramel bicuity malt profile. Finishes bitter and with some remembrances of the wonderful malt. Very well balanced, not your typical grapefruit bomb. I really liked this IPA. On one of my higher IPA shelves. Cheers!
