JRBowie (17), Anchorage, Alaska, USA Mar 10, 2007 HO... HO... HO I love when it’s that time of the year again. This is an Imperial IPA that is unmatched by others with in Alaska. You can buy this beer by the 22oz bottle or by draft. during the winter months. Try it on tap at Humpys Alaskan ale house geat food and Mdnight Sun. Prostman (1076), Pennsylvania, USA Mar 16, 2004 This was simply a great IPA. The color was dark orange, similar to the color of a Maerzen with a thin white head. The aroma was of hops, and the taste followed through being hoppy, yet balanced. A great seasonal and definitely one worth trying. Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Oct 8, 2002 Updated: May 22, 2007Ho-hoppy aroma. Spicy front end to the taste that quickly settles into a nicely hopped pale ale flavor. Superb ... one of my favorite beers. Not sure that it can hang with the real big imperial IPAs, but this is damn good and drinkable Pigfoot (2225), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Feb 10, 2004 What a crazy label, oh, so, colorful, with that mixed-up, Santa-hatted fish (salmon? trout?) But,let's open it it up and see what's inside...deep orange color, full head, big, blooming froth, leaving loads of lace. Aroma: ah, perfect hoppiness! Pine, and pineapple, apricot, peach, citrus aplenty, too, this is exactly what I like in an IPA aroma, oh, yeah! So, let us taste...Rrrrrr! Great, big bitterness, at first, blazing over the palate, huge hop attendance, but a large maltiness is also immediately noticed, and matches incredibly well with the massive hop content. Sharp. bitter, then just tasty fruit, very delicious, ...man, I'm sold on this one, and it's just now jumped to the top of my fave IPA list. Damn, this is dazzling, thank goodness it's a bomber, anything less, I would have felt cheated and teased. Yum, yum, and I'll say it again, yu-u-um! joet (1624), Fulton, California, USA Jun 8, 2004 Cery, hoppy clean and bright vivid flavors and aromas. Pine and PNW, Cascade? Chinook? A bit punchy very well rounded and very lightly creamy texture. Awesome!
