Aug 8, 2008 Thanks Derek. An imperial pale, a British hopped up style. Cloudy with off-white bubbly, and lace. A bold malt aroma, and yeast. Unfiltered, as there is black sediment there. Average mouthfeel. Big on the hops.

Aug 2, 2008 Further proof that the Grumpy Troll can brew nothing less than great beers. Near-perfect pour, with a pillowy head. It’s a ruddy lemon color coming out of the bottle, but when it settles into the glass after a dense swirl of bubbles it’s more of a toffee color. Aroma is a little bready. Not as bitter as most Imperial IPAs, but still loaded with flavor, especially dense, crisp pineappley hops. There’s a backtaste that’s almost a Belgian-like funk, which only adds to the pleasure.

Jul 19, 2008 Growler. Pours redish brown with almost no head. Hop and fruit aroma...lots of fruit. Thick and creamy palate. Flavor starts out hops with a REAL FRUITY middle and a slightly bitter finish. This is a good and I will drink it again but for a IIPA it is alittle too fruity for me.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle from iowaherkeye. Thanks dude! Aroma is of English Hops - light citrus and floral aspects followed by a decent malty backbone too. This one is interesting. Pours a muddy orange brown with a big head. It tastes like an English IPA to me, but obviously of the Imperial variety. Moderate citrus, pineapple, punchy, and floral hops are followed by caramel, toffee, cookie dough and bready malts. Finish is a little hoppy, but does have a light sour aspect that coats the teeth. Not really bitter, but definitely hoppy. Does not drink like it is 9%.

Jun 25, 2008 On tap at the Grumpy Troll brewpub. Hazy reddish-brown with a medium off-white head. Aroma of citrus and woodsy hops, pine, resin and grapefruit. Taste of pine, citrus balanced out by sweet malt. Medium bitter finish that’s mildly sour. Balanced and one of the better offerings at the Grumpy Troll

May 17, 2008 Poured a nice copper color with a medium foamy white head and lots of sticky lacing. Aroms is pineapple, some nuttiness, and a bit of floral notes. Taste is quite bitter, a bit of pineapple, and some nutty malts. Pretty good, a bit too nutty and bitter for my IIPA tastes. But good!
