On tap. pours a hazy copper with small white head. Aromas of piney hops and floral hops. first sip is a hop punch in the mouth. very sticky piney taste, with notes of citrus and caramel. Awsome brew for any hop head.

Hopheads dream. Good hop combo, really does taste like sucking on hop popscicle. Very floral. This beer kicks major ass and should be rated way higher way better than Ruination or 90minute

wonderful!!! I really wanted a solid beer to stack my 100th. Great hop flavor with a good malty balance. This is one of my all time favorites.

Cloudy orangey-amber, which eventually settles to almost clear. Thin off-white head that almost disappears with decent bubbly lace. Aroma of sweet flowery hops, lots of citrus and sweet fruit, and strong fresh pine and resin. Amazing Hope aroma. Silky mouthfeel with light smooth carbonation. Flavor starts with a quick grapefriuit, slightly herby bite. Develops into tangy, citrussy, acidic hops. I miss the fruity piney hops that I saw in the aroma, they are buried under the bitter bite. Ends with a very piney , orange peel bitterness on the back of the tongue, very lasting. Great IPA, but I feel like it would be better if it was a little more mellow, the hop flavors don’t get enough room to develop.

Very, very hoppy aroma and taste. Pours copper golden witha nice white head. Nice bitter bite, nice bitter lingering finish. A well balanced brew!

22oz. bottle, 2005 release. Aroma fairly well leaps from the glass and fills the surroundings with the scent of abundant hops. A closer analysis reveals strong notes of pine, flowers, grapefruit, lemon, green, leafy herbs, and some background honeyish, toasty malt sweetness. Deep copper color, mostly clear, with a lasting uneven, creamy head and wispy chains of lace. Flavor profile is quite balanced to start, the rich, pale malt sweetness combining with massively fruity hops before a truly forceful and deep bitterness sets in, maintaining this throughout, subsequently blending back in with a faint amount of sugary malt and very light peppery alcohol presence for the finish, which is drenched in long lingering, juicy hop resins. Mouthfeel is slick and lightly effervescent, body is of course full. I was very much in the mood for a monstrously hoppy beer this evening and this certainly fits that category. A true hop-focused Imperial IPA as indicated on the bottle -- "super hoppy". Thanks, Bob!
