Commercial Description:
Imperial, or super IPA’s were spawned out of the fascination of hops by the American consumer and are beyond Pale Ales and IPA’s in terms of both hop and alcohol content. Our interpretation is orange-gold in color, lightly bitter but highly hoppy with a firm malt backbone. We’ll gladly put this head-to-head with the best that those California Hophead/Brewers have to offer. 8.0 % ABV, 65 IBUs

Wow! Had this at the Kennet brewfest. Definitely the star of the show. Floral citrus nose with a nice golden amber color. Sweeter than most IPAs with big citrus taste. Awesome hops attacks the tounge. Great! probably one of the hoppiest beers I’ve ever rated. More flavor than most IPAs. A must for hop heads. I gotta get more of this beer!

A top notch IPA. Copper colored, with big hop nose. Hops and fruit in the taste, with some resiny finishing notes and even some floral sweetness. Marvelous.

On tap at the Manayunk Brew Pub. Poured a medium amber color with an averaged sized white head. Nice hoppy aroma and tastes - citris and flowers. Has a nice sweet balance to the bitter finish. Very good beer that I would definitely get again - the best I had there today.

Pours a translucent golden amber with a small bubbly off white head. Aroma of orange peel, floral notes, caramel some tropical fruits and lots of fresh hops. Flavor of floral, orange pine, grapefruit, caramel and lght alcohol. Perfumey.

KSBF 04, The highlight of the day at the KSBF! Well for me anyway. Considering my tounge had been raped most of the day by Barrel Aged beers, it was now hop time! This beer poured with a large offwhite head, retention was surprisingly good as was the lace. Clear, dark gold color. XL hop nose, citrusy, piney and floral all at the same time. Med/full body, good mouthfeel, lightly oily. Lots of hop flavor citrus, resiny, mayre some bubblegum notes and a scant touch of malt lurking around, not much though. Nice dry, resiny hop finish. One damn nice IPA !
