Sep 24, 2008 12oz in bordeaux glass. Deep amber, low off white head. Huge resiny, floral aroma. Thick with lupulin. Says 8.7%, but it’s barely there. Color is just about the only indication there’s malt in here. An orgy of late-hopping in a can.

Sep 24, 2008 Scarily drinkable is the first thing I wrote down, haha. Poured a deep reddish brown with a thick head. I like the way this one is sort of like an IPA, but not quite. Lots of IPA in the nose; but, lots of malt/caramel on the palate.

Sep 18, 2008 Dark amber body with a nice bubbly head. Plenty of pine and citrus hops going in the aroma with a kick of crystal malts backing it up. There is a remarkable balance going on in the flavor making this by no means a hop bomb, which I love here. Citrus hops and caramel and crystal malts with some oranges going on in the flavor. Finishes smooth and somewhat dry. This is a fantastic beer.

Sep 15, 2008 Can. Pours a deep amber with a moderate head. Aroma of Cascade hops. The flavor is dominated by a bitter hoppiness, balanced only somewhat with sweet toffee malts. Much closer to a Double IPA than an Imperial Amber. A bit too astringently bitter on the palate for my liking. A good beer nevertheless, but somewhat underwhelming.

Sep 10, 2008 Pours red/copper into the glass with an off white head. Aroma is sweet caramel and resinous. Flavor is very rich and has a caramel and toffee like quality to it with a nice amount of hop bitterness to counter. Very easy drinking for a bigger beer. really nicely done.

Sep 9, 2008 Can from Total Wine. So I figured someting that costs almost $5 per can better be damned good...well it is and more. Nice orange pour wtih a fair head...leads way to some great fruity hop and malt aromas. The flavor is rich and fruity wtih a juicy malt flavor. Damn am I glad that I can get this whenever I want. Very well done.
