Dec 4, 2005 Best IPA I have ever had. Strong strong fruity hop flavor with just enough malt balancing to not overpower the hops. Great hop aroma with tight lacy pale head. Great beer.

Jun 4, 2006 Wonderful piney hop aroma. Dark copper color, a bit darker than most IPA’s. The citrus hop flavorwelcomes the taste buds initially and an even sweetness hits the back of the mouth leaving a great after taste. Very surprised it only rates a 65 on the IBU scale. Definitely a top of the line agreeively hopped IPA.

Apr 22, 2006 Updated: May 25, 2006What a kick ass IPA this turned out to be. Totally unexpected..after having some of the so called "better" IPA’s out there. Very well balanced. Color was Deep, dark gold, you cant see through the other side of glass. Aroma is sweet chocolates, malts and strong hops. Flavor is malts, perfect amount of hops, but has a chocolately/caramel sweetness that tops it off amazingly. Silky smooth texture, that finishes not long..but not short..somewhere in between..like I said, balanced. This beer should not be underestimated. THANK YOU GREAT DIVIDE!

May 7, 2004 Updated: May 8, 2004Visited the brewery in Denver and had a great time with Bernie, one of the brewers. Nothing like a great friendly brewery! Reddish-orange with a a massive foamy head. Nice orange blossom aroma. Stark hop/grapefruit flavors. Beautiful hoppy beer.

Mar 14, 2004 Updated: Mar 17, 200422 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen, but Version 1.0 seen on lower right front label. Satisfying pffttt when opened.
Poured out a bright, clear orangish color, with a thick, off-white foamy head. Dense and rocky head that slowly slid back to a thick, sticky lacing down the sides of the glass.
Aromas right off the bat are of hops. Piney, resinous, sticky smelling hops. No grapefruit aromas here. Fresh mown Timothy hay aromas as well as fresh malty aromas abound in this beer.
Bright, fresh hop notes. Tastes like either Magnum or Simcoe hops. Very aromatic smelling and tasting.
Thick, chewy mouthfeel is rather unusual for an IPA. Strong malty backbone supports the hops very well. Almost a meal in a glass.
Finishes bitter as hell, but it still maintains it's balance between the hops and malts. A first class American IPA. Seek it out at all costs. This beer is the schnizzit.

Sep 10, 2005 Updated: Sep 11, 2005We have been getting the impressive line of the bigger Great Divide beers in Georgia for a few months now, and the regular strength beers have finally followed them. The first of these I am sampling is the Titan IPA.
The brown bottle concealed an amber colored, clear beer, which formed a perfectly proportioned eggshell white head after pouring in a pint glass, and displayed active carbonation action. The aroma was aggressively hoppy, with an unabashed scent of pine, spruce, and grapefruit. Taste was also quite mission specific, with peppery, bitter, resinous hop flavors held up with just enough biscuity caramel malt. When the hop profile is so good, who needs balance? Near perfect exhibit of all the good things that makes me crave an American IPA so frequently. Seek out eagerly if you even remotely enjoy hoppy beers.

Jul 19, 2004 Thick creamy head and a lovely malt aroma. Very dry with a huge hop presence. I truly enjoyed this brew. Another great one by Great Divide.
