Feb 3, 2009 The look is amber, some floating sediment, nice big beige head. The smell is very hoppy, nice pine, citrus, malts, and caramel all coming in. The taste is a nice medium bitterness level, with hops, pine, citruns, malts, and caramel.

Feb 1, 2009 Updated: Jul 8, 2009Appearance: It pours a hazy amber beer with a small white head. Not much lacework. Aroma: Very strong with reminiscence of quinces, blue cheese, hops and caramel. Flavor and palate: Syrupy. Nice bitterness. Beautiful hop profile which is balanced by caramel. Very long finish.

Jan 31, 2009 0.65 l bottle at Konttori, Tampere. Orange color with creamy head. Sweet and hoppy aroma with pine, lemon, orange, grapefruit and mango. Very hoppy bittersweet flavor with pine, grapefruit, lemon and menthol. Fair amount of sweet chewy maltiness also but it does not mask the hops. Excellent pungent hop character.

Jan 30, 2009 [Bottle] - Sipped with MatSciGuy courtesy of taverner - thanks man! We’ve enjoyed these. Deep orange color - fine bubbles on a light head. Not too sticky on the glass. Great citrusy hop aroma - strong but not overpowering. A dry-ish beer with a smooth mouthfeel with a little grassy/fresh hoppiness to the flavor.

Jan 30, 2009 courtesy of oh6gdx - hazy orange colour with a little foam; cheesy aroma with notes of quince; chewy malts and quite oily, dynamic palate, robust bitterness and a very dry bitter and very long fruity finish - a beautiful Imperial IPA

Jan 29, 2009 [Bottle] shared by timbeer. Pours a bright hazy orange with a small off white head. Aroma is loaded with mango, lots of sweet malty backbone, some tangerine zest, just a little pine, and a little bit of alcohol. Flavor is significantly more piney, and not at sweet as I was expecting based on the aroma. Medium mouthfeel, fresh, green, bitter hops, citrus, and more piney hop resin. Awesome bitter and slightly dry finish.

Jan 29, 2009 (11/12/08) Bottle at Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia. Hazy orange-amber color with a tiny white head that disappears immediately. Aroma loaded with hops, some flowers, citrus notes and some pine. Bitter hoppy flavor with some pine and grapefruit, a rather low malt profile and a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Not too balanced but a good, tasty, DIPA.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottle. Brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is very well hopped, and the flavour is very deeply hopped with floral and roasted notes. Overall a very nice, very well hopped and dry beer.
