May 26, 2008 (22oz. bottle, courtesy of blutt59) Pours a clear amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of pineapple, apricot, animal crackers, and caramel. Flavor of hops (grapefruit, peach, pineapple) and freshly baked biscuits round out a nice balance.

May 24, 2008 Thanks to BückDich for the bottle. Glistening red with a off-white head. Intense citrus, floral, orange, and fresh fruit aroma. Flavor follows the same path as the aroma with a caramel backbone holding up the bitter, hoppy finish. Very enjoyable but for a IIPA it lacks a bit of intensity.

May 24, 2008 Fairly straight forward IIPA, with a huge caramel backbone and lots of citrusy hops, chewy mouth and moderate bitterness. Very surprised it was 10%. Well made, but it just doesn’t go anywhere special.

Poured a hazy orange/amber with off-white head, very good retention, nice looking beer. Aroma is great hoppy pineapple and grapefruit. Flavor is sweet, pineapple combined with very nice yeasty-fruit esters, with a nice hoopy bitter. Full body with low-medium carbonation but the citris feel makes up for lack of carbonation which makes this feel very nice. I really like this IIPA!!!!

May 20, 2008 On tap at horse brass, Aroma of strawberry (!) with a little pine--interesting but not complex. Medium amber, almost clear, flat out of the tap and in the mouth. a hop harshness almost swept aside by the sweet flux of caramel & peaches. this brew walks the convergence of IIPA, strong ale & barley wine. interesting mix of pieces and dynamics, but just missing somewhere in complexity and balance

May 16, 2008 Amber color with a medium head. Aroma is dominated by sweet and pine/citrus hops. Flavor started out nicely with big citrusy/floral/piney hops that are quite sticky and good, but the sugary tastes in this one start to wreck the experience. Good, but too sugary/malty.

May 15, 2008 Hazy amber with a fleeting head. Good aroma is sweet caramel and citrusy, spicy hops. Full bodied and very smooth. Heavy flavors of candied malts and sappy hops slaps your palate, definitely a sipper here. Unique for a good Imperial IPA in that the 10% is noticeable but doesn’t get in the way, enjoyed this one.

Apr 29, 2008 nice citrus hop aroma....fairly sweet in balance.....don’t really get any of the northern brewer hop flavor or aroma...I like how they mention the hops used as well as the malts......missing for me the hop punch that a iipa should have
