Hazy amber in color with a small off white head. Aroma: moderate citrus, earthy, and floral hops, molasses,and a touch of alcohol. Taste is malty with molasses, earth, and a moderate hop profile. Gets muddled, and doesn’t seem to have much direction. Alcohol gets moderate in the finish. Moderate bitterness. Wasn’t crazy about this.

Pours ugly orange brown, very cloudy. Aroma hoppy but not very pungent. Flavor is like hops, grass, and gasoline, not great.

Pretty good Double IPA. Great Aroma. Nice color and lacing. The hop taste is somewhat balanced by the high ABV. A little sticky feeling. The bitter is not harsh and not overly hoppy.

Copper red pour, small white head. Aroma is citrus, pine and malty. Flavor is resiny, citrusy, piney even floral basically the 4 food groups of hops. Caramel lies in the background giving a hint of sweetness. Big on the resin this has a good amount of bitterness that really lingers killing the other flavors. Very dry also which is making the harshness come out more. Not bad but the bitterness becomes too much.

22oz. Bottle: Hoppy aroma. Smells of hops, pine, citrus, pineapple, and a little resin. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, creamy, dense, rocky, off-white head that lasted throughout. Excellent lacing. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of small floating particles. Medium bitter flavor. Tastes of hops, grapefruit, tropical fruit, citrus, and butter. Medium body. Dryish texture. Soft to average carbonation. Bitter, lightly dry finish.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange color with a thick white head. Nice lacing. Decent aroma, although not as pungent as I would have expected. Mouthfeel is nice. Flavor is a nice bitter hoppiness with some citrus and pine to it. Hoppy finish. A pretty good Impy IPA.

Bottle. Hazy thick orange color with medium sized head. Aroma is citrus hops with some weed and tea notes. It really smells good but the flavor did not stand up and represent. Bitter hoppy flavors bominate this beer. Some sweetness and little caramel notes can also be detected. This could be better with a little tweeking.

Pours to a hazy shiny straw colored body with a creamy white head. The aroma is grassy weedy hops with a nice simple pale malt. The flavor is bitter hops with lots of weedy grassy hops. The palate is bitter. Overly bitter.
