Garyfred (2), USA does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 7, 2008 Somewhat citrus aroma. Taste is has a boldness rather than sweetness like some Imperial IPA’s. Not as Hppy as some with a bit of an alcohol bite redlight (1492), Winter Park, Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Tap at the brewery... not hugely hoppy but more than most Highland products. I guess in keeping with the scottish roots of the brewery, it is more of a hoppy Scottish ale. A little lighter in body, but still plenty of malt. Wish I could get it in Knoxville, one of Highlands best beers. BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 24, 2008 To me this is just a standard, albeit typical IPA, which is why I don’t understand why they would want to make an Imperial version of said IPA, but having said that. Lots of citrusy hops, tangerine and the like. Sweet caramel maltiness, with a nice bitter finish. fishingnet (1047), Brandon, Florida, USA

Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small white head that fades to a ring and leaves good lacing. Aroma of citrus & pine hops with sweet malt in the background. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium slightly resiny mouthfeel w/ a moderate amount of bitterness. Very good. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 17, 2008 Cloudy orange with a thick white head. Sweet, sugary malt aroma with a heavy infusion of citrusy hops. Fantastic hoppy taste with an earthy yet sweet malt presence. Excellent. vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2008 Updated: Jan 15, 2008Pours a hazy brownish orange color. Quickly vanishing head with plenty of lacing left behind. The aroma is a floral and citrus hops, with some maltiness in the background. The taste is citrus with a far amount of bitterness. The aftertaste is bitter hops and with a somewhat drying sensation. This is a decent IPA but slightly lower in hop kick than many IPA’s. Bockyhorsey (2552), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 12, 2008 12oz bottle from performula. Decent citrus and pine aroma. Copper body with decent head. Good citrus flavor with more of a malt backbone that holds back some of the crispness. Good brew thanks.
