Mar 15, 2009 Bottle. Poured a beautiful deep amber with a tiny head. Aroma of oranges. Disappointingly dry and bitter flavor compared to favored IPAs such as Stoudts and Dogfish Head, with accents of oranges and grapefruit. Tangy but dry mouthfeel which finished very bitter. Better than many, not as good as many others.

Mar 13, 2009 Bottle pours an orange amber with a big, big head. The aroma is of sweet malt and a citrus and bread like. The flavor is quite hop forward but very sweet, with some orange like sweetness and peal to attempt to balance. The palate is very much there. There is somewhat of an abrasive aspirin like bitterness that I can’t quite overlook. This is a bit of a mess...

Mar 10, 2009 Much better beer than their traditional IPA... Aroma of hops and a flavor with a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness, however, the beer does well in highlighting the hoppy flavor much more subtlely than the Hop Stoopid, their more ostentatious IPA... Nice tasting IPA

Mar 8, 2009 22oz bottle. Copper amber pour with a big off-white head. Sweet grainy aroma with bread and hops. Sweet malt flavor up front with a bready hop finish. Either this was an old bottle, or it’s just not very good. The sweetness way overpowered the hops.

Mar 4, 2009 WAY TOO SWEET! couldnt finish the whole thing because of how sweet the finish is. started off fine, a little malty for how i like imperial IPA’s, but not bad. but the aftertaste and the finish was no good, dissapointing because of their regular IPA.

Mar 4, 2009 not as much of a hop aroma as expected. looks a little thin, taste is extremely sweet, almost like a barleywine with an alcoholic aftertaste, not very much hops.disappointing.

Mar 4, 2009 Again not a fan of IPAs, but at least this one had more flavor then just a kick in the teeth of hops. If you love IPAs its a must have.

Mar 2, 2009 22 oz bottle. Small aroma of pine and hops. Poured a bright copper with a small quickly vanishing white head. Flavor began to approach DIPA standard and held it’s ground throughout. A little rough on the palate, but not unexpected. Overall a workmanlike ale.
