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

Apr 26, 2008 Thanks to old mr crow and goldtwins for bottles. Pours a dark, copper with a decent white head. Sweet, cittrusy and malty aroma. Flavor is quite sweet with some malt backing. Medium bodied. Not bad, but a little boring.

Apr 23, 2008 Pours copper with a tan head. Smells of butter (diacetyl) and citrus. Tastes of spice, caramel, malt. Mouthfeel is full. Not a lot going on here.

Apr 23, 2008 22 oz bottle. Clear topaz with a thin beige head. Nose is orange candy and caramel; earthy pine in the back. Almost medium with mild carb. Taste is orange and pink grapefruit, then caramel and toffee. As the final traces disappear a big hop aftertaste emerges with oily pine needles. Pretty good but the finish is a bit harsh.

Apr 21, 2008 Very nice. Big head on an orange body. Aroma and taste full of citrus. Hopheads should like this. Tons of grapefruit notes.
