Jun 18, 2008 Bottle courtesy poonpillager. Dark rusty red/orange with a 1.5 finger white head. Nose of grapefruit hops, pinecones, lemons, orange zest and some perfume notes. There is a toffee malt background here but it’s slight. I like how in your face this one is. Pine and bitter citrus in the flavor as well, again with a very small malt backing. Great mouthfeel, very full and hefty for the style, tons of pine resin and very oily. Long finish, bitter and floral hops, some malt and then citrus rides into the finish. Awesome.

Jun 16, 2008 Updated: Jan 19, 2009[Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours clear gold with a soapy whitish head. Nice citrus fruits nose, with plenty of pine resin and a little bit of buttery popcorn. Flavor is straight hops. Tongue-curling bitterness along with some alcohol burn.
-------& a clear golden amber with a firm off-white head of fine bubbles. Aroma is not terribly pungent, but there is some floral and citric hops with bit of sweetness from the malt and maybe a little bit of honey character. Lots of grapefruit on the nose as well. Flavor is bitter from front to back. Absolutely straight hop concentrate. This stuff is absolutely bracing. Really no alcohol detected anywhere. Incredibly dry on the finish with the bitterness lingering.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle courtesy poonpillager. Pours a clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and floral hops with a sweet malt and light caramel backbone. Tase is the same as aroma. Medium full mouthfeel with a strong amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. Very good.

Jun 9, 2008 Pours a hazy dark/deep amber/copper with an off white head. Has a powerful aroma of fruity/juicy/sweet/sour hops and grapefruit. The taste here is somewhat like the aroma with a blast of hops on your tastebuds upfront with a little pineyness/citrus, grapefruits and a little sticky on the palate. Alcohol hidden pretty well. Semi-sweet. Bitter end. Very delicious Imperial IPA. Totally hop driven mostly. Not perfectly balenced but still all around good.

Jun 7, 2008 Didn’t take notes on this one, but it was a serious hop bomb with a lot of bitterness. The flavor was good with citris, floral and some pine, but just a bit too much bitterness for me with almost no malt backbone.

Jun 6, 2008 MMMMMMMM. Pours a clear orangish color with a nice head. Huge hop aroma! This is not for the faint of heart. It is not balanced at all. It is a HOP BOMB!!!!! Sometimes however, bombed is just what you need! This is a chewy hoppy resiny beautiful example of what deranged hopheads can come up with when brewing IPAs! EXCELLENT!!!!!!

Jun 3, 2008 Example of a west coast Imperial IPA. Lipsmackin chewy hopbomb but slightly out of balence with the hops. A must for the true hophead.
