Aug 5, 2009 Had alongside an ’07 and ’08 bottle of Dogfishead 90 minute, and it just couldn’t compare. Not big enough in malt or hops to compare to the really good dipas/imperials.

Jul 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours golden with a large, fluffy head. The aroma and flavor is that of sweet, citrus hops with a nice malty backbone. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. This imperial IPA isn’t one of those extremely bitter brews, but rather a very well-rounded one.

Jul 24, 2009 Would get this again...a real firecracker. Sweet and hoppy IPA. Good alcohol content. Aroma and color - nothing in particular stands out, just amber-like and floral-smelling. Little head. Just a solid imperial IPA.

Jul 7, 2009 Bottle sample at the Columbus Alefest on 6/27/09. Clear gold pour with a big off-white head. Orangy hop aroma with some bready malt. Malty flavor up front with a touch of alcohol and a bunch of orangy hops in the finish.

Jun 29, 2009 12 oz. bottle. on the small side white fizzy head (quickly and almost fully dissapating) into clear copper body. aromas of moderate hops and some malts (actually not as biting as I was anticipating) although the alochol is present (not overpresent). flavor-initially light-mod bittersweet. finishes- light to moderate bitter. Not the best Double IPA but also not the worst.

Jun 28, 2009 Nice dark amber with a large foamy head. Aroma is hops. Flavor starts sweet and ends bitter. Very dry finish.

Jun 23, 2009 Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours a medium to slightly dark yellow with a small and short-lived head. The nose brings a strong scent of hops, perhaps some Simcoe and Columbus, along with a dose of malt at the end. The palate begins hoppy, bringing a smooth bitterness that is pretty easy on the senses. Malt comes in toward the middle to end. The finish is relatively sweet, but certainly not cloying. Overall, not the best IIPA, but certainly a winner, and one that belies its abv.

Jun 22, 2009 Pours a hazy gold with thin white head, little lacing. Aroma is pretty faint. Smells of a bit of alcohol/hops and nice warm strawberry smoothie. Taste is a citrusy syrupy hops leaning towards a refreshing spruce as opposed to a bitter sap. And one finds a nice prominent apricot in the after taste. Interesting. I feel like the maker of this beer deserves more credit than my rating merits.
