| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 19, 2008 I have had ths a number of times but forgot to rate it...here goes! Pours an cloudy amberish color. head is hoppy and some malt too. Hops hit you pretty hard, but this isn’t the most amazing IPA by any stretch. I wish the body were fuller and richer. Still pretty good though. presario (3009), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 6, 2005 I didn’t know there was such a thing as and Imperial Bitter. Isn’t beer a wonderful discovery. Dark cloudy orange with a big head. Aroma was unexpectedly mild. Could probably sell it in a couple of style categories. Definately for hop lovers. Orange and grapefruit flavours. I found the bitter finish delicious. rauchbier (3004), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 4, 2003 Bottle conditioned. Hazy amber, initialy good white head soon dissolving to thin cover of bubbles, moderate condition. Excellent pine resin hop aromas with some trace of tangerines and malt. In the mouth the hop flavour dominates with some yeastiness developing. Powdery dry and hop bitter in the finish with more yeast. Big and hoppy but not as complex as 90 minute IPA.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 3, 2005 On tap at Barley’s Taphouse in Asheville, NC. Fantastic hop aroma. While it almost burns your nose, you can still smell some sweetness. Amazingly enough, this is not an unpleasant bitter taste. Amber in color. Say, this isn’t so brutal. I like. larsga (2992), Oslo, Norway
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 17, 2008 Medium offwhite head. Hazy orange body. Firm sweet malty aroma with resiny hop background and toffee notes. Dry-sweet deep malty taste with a powerful resiny citric hop complement. Balanced and powerful. Dry dandelion pine needle and resin hop aftertaste with lemony notes. Very nice and highly drinkable. (0.355l bottle, Beer Palace, Oslo. Tasted like it was a bit old. Should rerate.) ante (2969), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 24, 2004 Updated: Oct 20, 2005(sampled bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival) hazy dark golden, rich white head. Suddenly only piney bitter hops is in the air. Bitter grapefruity flavour with a raw maltiness. Bitter, bitter, bitter finish of grapefruit. Simple beer but that’s just fine.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 21, 2008 Very nice brew. Aroma is a pretty combonation of floral hops and cassis with a touch of raspberry. The appearence of this fine bitter is a barely hazy medium orange with an average sized off-white head with great lacing. The taste rounds out a bit bitter and fruity. Goes down quite well. bb (2941), Martinez, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 23, 2004 Draft. Hazy amber color with a big off-white head. Big grapefruit aroma. Taste shows some malt backing, but it’s mostly citrus and pine. Fairly easy drinking for a beer of this type.
