Thick amber color with good head and lacing. Nice hop floral smell. Good hop presence in the thick flavor. Well made and well balanced. Palate is nice and thick and and matches the flavor well.
pantanap (781), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 15, 2008 gtmw 08....3 pretty decent ipas/dipas right in a row and this one held up just fine against the previous 2.... pours hazy orange with a thin soapy white head.... assertive tropical floral hops in the nose..... flavors continued with the sweet tropical fruits. extremely drinkable even at 9.5%...can’t wait to have this again in chicago. 1FastSTi (2402), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Aug 12, 2008 GTMW 2008. I’ve been wanting to try this beer for quite some time now. The beer pours to a murky straw colored body with a dense white head. The beer was like a hoppy hefeweizen. Sweet and rich. Seemed wheaty. Really nice! Brigadier (900), Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA Aug 11, 2008 Great Taste of the Midwest 2008
Hoppy and aggressive this was amazingly my first hop bomb of the afternoon. That made it the perfect shock to the system after porters, stouts and heavy fruit beers. It is not the strongest imperial IPA but at the same time everything you could ask for is present.
Aroma / Appearance - The cloudy golden body left a nice layer of residue along the side of the glass. The hops took the form of a bright fruity and caramel blend.
Flavor / Palate - Hoppy banana bread washed across the senses before a dry bitter finish. There is no mistaking this for anything other than an imperial IPA at this point. Aggressive but balanced it highlights the skill of the brewers at Piece. I can’t wait to get back there and see what they have brewing in the future. MIBRomeo (1889), Wisconsin, USA Aug 10, 2008 Cloudy dk straw pour thick white head, good lacing. Well coated pal. Flavor is full of tropical fruit, hops, I’d guess simcoe, heavy so sweet hop flower.. delicious APA. Light breads come later. Aroma is mostly floral definatelly big sweet tropical fruits... some cereal.. GREAT. Ungstrup (11353), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 27, 2008 GABF 2007. A hazy golden beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of grass. The flavor is sweet with ntoes of grass, malt, and grapefruits. OK, but nothing special.
