Nov 15, 2005 Draft at PP Solana Beach. Hazy golden color. Perfect aromas of pineiness, sweetness, and grapefruitiness. Flavors were all green and floral. Rather viscous with a great hoppy finish. Very tasty stuff.

Sep 25, 2005 Pours slightly hazy light orange with a frothy head. Aroma’s are abounding with fruity esters of bubblegum and peachy, citrusy hops. Body is a medium with a pervasive dryness. The flavors very much reflect the aromas with very heavy apricots and mangos. The finish is med. dry with a middle of the road bitterness for this style. A very interesting example, and very enjoyable.

Aug 17, 2005 Fresh, clean, strong hop aroma with thick underlying maltiness. Opaque, golden yellow with decent and lasting cover of white head that recedes with some lacing. Herbal and citrus hops with toasty underlying malts and some fruitiness. Nicely balanced with strong finishing bitterness. Thick body with moderate carbonation that is lightly effervescent. Hand bottled from a growler and enjoyed with beerbuzzmontreal, MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Jul 30, 2005 Couleur dorée aux reflets orangés coiffée d’une belle mousse blanche, crémeuse et persistante. Aromes de raisins, pamplemousses blancs, de cassonade et d’alcool sous une fraîcheur de houblon toujours existante. Belle équilibre des flaveurs en bouche, amplement houblonnée, malt aux saveurs de biscuits, faiblement sucrée, finale légèrement sèche évoquant le houblonnage à froid. Carbonatation présente et bien agglomérée.

Jul 29, 2005 Hazy golden, 1cm white head, decent lacing. Big resin nose, very dry, sawdust like woodiness. Not the most aromatic double IPA, but dry, straightforward and direct. Minty hops mingle through the light alcohol peaks to find leafy hints, the balance is excellent, unassuming with its english character peaks, yet boasting a tremendous medium-full body with particularly soft carbonation. Cheers Chris!

Jul 27, 2005 Draft. Hazy amber beer with a nice white head. Huge citrus aroma. Nice caramel/toffee malt backing a big citrus/fruit flavor. Refreshing for style. Nice bitterness.

Jul 22, 2005 On draught at the pub in Solana Beach. Clear golden orange with nice even lacing coating the entire glass. Beautiful big hop aroma of grapefruit and orange. Medium bodied, slightly syrupy and with a slightly dry and bitter finish. Big fruity flavor with enough malt to give it an extra punch. Overall probably the best Imperial I’ve had on draught!

Thick cloudy orangey hue. Intensely hoppy, herbal aroma, fresh leaf basil. Spicy, minty basil flavor, grapefruit, moderately yeasty and malty, some tropical fruit sweetness. Unique for sure.
