Feb 13, 2009 Tap @ baily’s Taproom. Poured a deep orange with a monster head that left considerable lacing. Great citrus hop nose with an intense hop taste. On the latter end of the palate i noticed a considerable bitter element.

Feb 12, 2009 Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom... Poured orange with a white head., nice lacing. Intense, floral hops on the nose. Palate was dry and foamy with flavors of floral hops (that matched the aroma perfectly) that went straight through to the finish. Also some grainy malts but were very little.

Feb 9, 2009 Awesome. One of the best DIPA’s out there. Piney, refreshing, tart, and hopped out of this world. A really really really good DIPA will buy this again, hopslam watch out!

Feb 6, 2009 Bottle. Lovely hazy dark orange persimmon color. Aroma is fruitier than expected, a tiny bit of sourness. Nice soft carbonation. Good palate and not chewy. Super intense hop character ranges from herbal to fruity to very bitter and earthy. Really nice, very enjoyable and good level of intensity.

Feb 4, 2009 Updated: Feb 9, 2009A hop bomb, and also another kind of bomb: THE bomb. This beer is pretty awesome. Sort of a mix between Stone Ruination and Pliny the Elder. Golden-amber color with a solid off-white head. Really piney and floral hop aroma with some sweet malt. Lupulin coats you like...um...a coat. Nice smooth mouthfeel with hop oiliness. Grapefruit and pine, balanced by sweet caramel malt. I could eat a hopsickle popsickle any day.

Jan 31, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours an orange amber with a moderately sized off white head. Good retention and lacing. Aromas of pine, flowers, resin, and some malt. Flavors are the same with some astringency shinning through on the finish. Nice IIPA, but definitely not worth the new $10.99 sticker.

Jan 29, 2009 Pure hops. Astoundingly bitter and equally delicious. I split the bomber, but id be surprised if I could drink an entire bottle.
You need to LOVE hops to even tolerate this beer, Luckily, I love hops.

Jan 21, 2009 22oz bottle, $10 at whole foods. The aroma of those columbus (er, tomahawk) hops hits hard right away mixed with caramel. Pours a clear amber with an orange tint. Up front the flavor is citrus and piny hop and a little malty sweetness that quickly fades to bitterness. And I mean bitterness. Alcohol is completely hidden by hop. Medium body, fully carbonated. Very enjoyable... This is one for sipping and sharing.
On a side note...anyone else notice that "Ahtanum" was spelled "Anthanum" and there was at least one sighting of "Imerial" instead of "Imperial"? Proofread, Brendan. Otherwise a great brew.
