| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Pours golden amber. Decent amount of hop aroma with pretty good head. Flavor of hops obviously but this Imperial was on the bitter side. Immediately malty and finishes bitter. Very full mouth feel. A great "triple" IPA. One I would pick up again.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Mar 5, 2008 Big Bottle. Poured a deep, moderately cloudy, golden amber. Nose was pretty much pure hops. Carbonation was not too strong, but not too weak, but just perfect for an IPA of this strength. Head was a creamy off-white that stayed around. Taste was pretty much pure hops. Bought this beer on a whim and am very lucky to have found it. Great Tripe IPA. guzzler67 (1274), Hanover, Maryland, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Hazy, golden/amber appearance with a small, off white head and a moderate amount of lacing. Resinous, herbal, citrusy hop aroma. Intense, bitter, hoppy taste with the only balance being between the varieties of hops; malts are well buried in the background. Full-to-medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a long lasting finish. Very satisfying. lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 29, 2008 pours a somewhat cloudy orange with a one finger fluffy off white head. aroma is strong hops and some caramel malt with grapefruit, orange peel, melon and pine. has a medium to full body with descent lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. the aroma also has some cotton candy to it. the beer is a little slick on the tongue and the hops stick to the tongue for a while. a very nice iipa. the aroma does get stronger as it warms and the head disappears. hombrepalo (757), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 29, 2008 -Alive aroma with some pine. Looks good when swirled, amber color with a smallish white head. Extra bitter hops, a bit too much withoverwelming flavors. I was expecting something different from this brewery. Still a good beer.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 28, 2008 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a hazy orange color, with a sticky tan head. Aromas are nothing but hops & alcohol. Flavors are about the same. Hops & alcohol. Medium mouthfeel, slick & oily. Not balanced in any way, shape or form. Alcohol burning aftertaste. Needs work. GMCC2181 (855), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 28, 2008 Bottle. Smells of hops, raised to the third power! I dont know if I have ever smelled a beer with this amount of hops in it. Smells all citrus. Beautiful orange/red color, with a decent head. Flavor is the same, a GINORMOUS amount of hops. It is smooth but has nice bitterness in the end. Nice thickness. If you are a "hophead" this brew is for you! Great beer. Jmichael (633), Asheville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 24, 2008 pours a cloudy copper gold with hint of red, front hoppy aroma, strong hoppy front to bitter finish. dry aftertaste.
