22oz. Bottle: Very hoppy aroma. Smells of hops, resin, pine, grapefruit, and citrus. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, rocky, tan head that lasted throughout. Excellent lacing. Hazy. Flavor is heavily bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, and resin. Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Very bitter finish. Overall, a really nice Impy IPA. Great bitterness.

Shared with and courtesy of owner @ Najas. Poured a hazy amber with and orange tint and huge extremly long lasting off-white head. Huge hop aroma. Citrusy and earthy and even floral. Hop flavors through and through but has a very nice balance with the caramel malt. Long bitter dry finish. Very nice beer.

Veeery nice. Floral hoppy aroma. Full body does well to balance out the assault of citrus and pine hops in the finish.

The most over-the-top Imperial IPA I’ve had, but truly a delicious brew in my opinion. Hops, hops, and more hops, but not unbalanced. Alcohol is evident, but the citrusy, grassy hop flavor is certainly the dominant element. A very tasty brew.

Big change coming from the Cantillon Iris to this - beer 15 at the party, for me. Almost some malts in the aroma! The taste is very hoppy, with a simple finish that just gets more and more hops, esp. in the after after-taste. Nice.

Bottle courtesy of Naven. Excellent hop flavor and aroma. Overpowering w/ hops and that’s just how I like it. All hop flavors- citrus, pine, grass, resin, etc., are represneted here. A great, West Coast IIPA.

Picked up a bottle at recent trip to Capone’s. Pours out a nice slightly hazy light copper/ orange color with a moderated mostly white head. Aroma is full of hops mostly pine and citrus. Taste is over the top hops, and not in a bad way. Citrus, pine, and slight malty sweetness throughout to add a very nice balance. Totally out of hand on the hops and I like it.

22 oz bottle. Poured a hazy copper orange, with a moderate light tan head. Wonderful nose...hops at first,. but then your get the scent of pine,. citrus, and tropical fruit. Really great mouthfeel. Flavor balanced malts and hops remarkably well. While high in alcohol, it hides this well. For an DIPA fan this is heaven. I love this almost as much as the Moylander Double IPA,
