22 oz Bottle from Total Wine. Clear and a deep gold in color with a small head comprised of compact tiny bubbles. Very slight lacing. Aromas of mango, citrus and bubblegum. Body is medium and not as slick or full as others in the style. As it warms I’m getting some doughy notes in the aroma. Overall pretty balanced but not over the top like some Imperials I worship.

Dec 25, 2009 Oily orange color. Great lacing. Funky aroma of pine and wheat bitter up front, followed by a flash of )))salty??((( then more bitterness. Not sire I like the middle flash of flavor, but I like the hop profile a ton.

Dec 25, 2009 Smells, looks, tastes and pleases like a top notch DIPA. I will now include this one in the rotation as it fits my expectations on all levels. Great ale.

lct-or, med-sticky-body, ^co2.
^piney sweet-grpfrt aroma.
co2 bright-citrus-fruit T1, sweet-tangerine resiny-hop co2 T2, hop-slick T3.
like a four-hearted ale, great flavor but too much co2,
fresh-sweet-citrus backdrop, piney-hop-resin forefront.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. 25.4 oz. Pours clear orange-amber with a moderate, smooth off-white head. Aroma of dry hops, yeast, bread, cinnamon, vanilla, and barley. Pourous, clean mouthfeel with an extremely passive, mildly crisp body. Great Imperial IPA.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle: Bright Amber in color, very minor haze, batter like head, off-white, big and frothy, moderate lacing. Resiny nose, hops and very slight pine. Also has a malt presense to it. Quite resiny on the tongue,
piney, with not a hell of a lot of bitterness but it does have quite a bit of hop flavor. Certainly bigger than your average IPA, but not as Malty as I prefer. However, its not biting at all, has very good hop flavor, it is
quite resiny, with hints of pine, all while remaining quite well balanced. Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full. Resiny finish, very clean, well in a hop sorta way. Good, quite good actually. For not being as
Malty as I like, it was rather well balanced for an IIPA. Hop Heads will like this one. I tend to prefer ones that lean towards Barley Wine, but this one was likely truer to style.

Dec 17, 2009 Clear golden yellow with a medium off-white head, sudsy, moderately dissipating and some lacing. Aroma of resinous, woodsy and citrus hops – west coast IPA all the way with enough caramel and malt to back it up. Taste of resinous hops, mild floral hops, crystal malt, mild citrus. Finishes up with moderate bitterness and mild warming and some orange. Nice but not stellar – and nicely priced.

Dec 17, 2009 Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange color with a two finger white head that lasts a while. Aroma was floral hops, fruity aromas, and grass. Flavor was subtle hops, floral notes. Aftertaste was mild bitters. Plenty of lacing left by this beer. Very big and aggressive. Yummy.

Dec 17, 2009 Deep golden color out of the bottle with a thin, off white head. Big sweet hoppy nose of sharp grapefruit rind and hop resin. Flavor is dominated by the hop resin, with candied grape fruit rind, apple sauce, and a bready malt underneath. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel with some honey sweetness. Long resin finish.
