aroma is sweet/hops/grapefruit. taste is strong hops with a slight burn - this one will warm you up. Not bad. Not a great Imp IPA but does have good flavor. I would taste again!

Well balanced powerful ipa that isn’t brutal on the tastebuds. Citrus and hops taste pretty good. Leviathan kicks butt!

Bottle (and previously on tap, but forgot to do notes). Pours a clear golden orange with a medium to thick beige head that falls down rather quickly. Big astringent citrus hops, malt, and a bit of caramel and vanilla on the nose. A touch boozy, but a nice big hop presence right up front and a good thick malty backbone. Finishes with a nice long lingering bitterness.

Sample at Neil’s HSC initation. This brew is a hazy orange-amber color with a medium and creamy light beige head that diminishes slowly. Stringy lacing on the glass. Floral hops aroma with some malt in the background. Medium body with a moderately bitter hops character that has pine and floral notes. Sweet malt and caramel undertones as well. The finish is hoppy with a lingering citrus aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle thanks to porterhouse. Pours with a medium, slightly yellow head over a hazed golden body. Pervasive aroma. Pine and citrus tang (orange), light grain, caramel, light honey. By far the best smelling beer I have seen...well smelled...from Harpoon. Taste is nice with sharp citrus hop notes, and some lingering caramel sweetness followed by a long, bitter citrus finish. Good! Medium to light carbonation, thickish/viscous mouthfeel. A very solid beer from, in my experience, a not so solid brewery.

Copying from tasting notes. Bottle from jessup plaza. Poured and orange color with a medium head. Aroma is strong citrus hops. Taste is huge hops that are balanced quite well by some sweet malt. Notes of oak and alcohol dominate the end. Very good.

the smells is nealry flawless and it looks very good. the beer has some potent flavors with pine and grass hops, sweet malts and fizzy carbonation. the real problem is that its too sweet. still good.
