Apr 23, 2008 Thanks ogglethorp. Beautiful orange pour, frothy white head with a tinge of orange-ness to it. Fragrant bouquet of pine and citrus, and pleasantly following through on flavor. Beer was intense, but very well-balanced. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Would have only been better if it had been named the Pen 15.

Sep 10, 2007 22oz bottle, WOw, this is great.. drinkable , dangerously so too, 10.0% on the bottle, thin head but has some taste that just puts this one perfectly, its perhaps a type of hop that is great, and this one works.. my west coast choice for Double Simcoe.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle purchased at the brewery.
Pours a golden orange and very hazy. Smell is of course dominated by hops. Spicy, earthy and citrus hops are up front. A light sweetness is also there. First taste is pure bitter citrus piney hops. Nice sweet malty backbone holds it’s own against the hops. A little bit of a burn from the alcohol is there but does not distract from the taste. Nice light carbonation helps this one go down smooth. I love a non-filtered bottle conditioned DIPA. Not a session beer as it will wreck you palate and more then one will put a hurting on you. A great beer from Tomme and the gang at LA/PB.

Sep 4, 2009 Tap @ Publick House, Brookline, Mass. Pours golden-orange with a fluffy and lingering white head. Aroma is citrus hops with a little malt and caramel thrown in for good measure. Taste is malt and citrus with a hop bitterness so wonderfully typical of West Coast IPA’s. Mouthfeel is much more creamy than your average IPA, but I won’t complain about that.

Mar 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours hazy copper with small off-white head, lacing. Nose has pungent passionfruit, fresh oranges, lemon peel, mild pineyness and a bit of honey. Aroma is really robust, filling up the nostrils. Flavor is lightly sweet, toffee, hints of soil/earth, mild pine and light bitterness. Lingering moderate bitterness and resiny oiliness in the finish.

Jul 25, 2008 Wow what a great IIPA! I don’t know how the west coast does it, but damn is this a great and drinkable beer. Aroma was nice. Strong pine and citrus hops. Don’t get enough of the piney hops here in the northeast. Pour was a nice medium amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was a hop bomb that expertly balances just enough caramel and dark malt to keep it drinkable. The hops varied from citrus to pine needles, but dried the mouth out and left a strong bitterness on the tonsils. Outstanding beer.

Feb 5, 2008 served cold from 22 oz. bottle. pours a nice amber/orange color with a quickly diminishing off-white head. good lacing. the aroma is all pine with some notes of different fruits. great body, citrus flavors and a sweet finish to counterbalance the bitter hops. for a beer with over 10% abv, there is almost no alcohol flavor, making it a great and easily drinkable imperial ipa.
