May 10, 2009 Nice beer. Aroma of pine, caramel and biscuit. Flavors of toffe, pine, mint, and grassiness all came through. At the finish was an unpleasant alcohol astringency, very dry and tacky. Mouthfeel was light to medium. Very good, not great but worth a try. 2009 22 oz.

May 8, 2009 22 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with pnista. Pours a hazy orange gold with a moderate off-white head that lasted through about half the beer and laced the glass well. Very pleasant aroma of bright, fruity orange and grapefruit along with some caramel. The flavor loses a bit of the fruitiness and gains citrus pith bitterness, but is well balanced against a strong caramel backbone. Fairly smooth and silky mouthfeel despite the strong bitterness. Full bodied. Very enjoyable.

May 6, 2009 Aroma of sweet pineapple, malt, light cheese. Amber orange color with off white head. Very well balanced initial flavors. Hoppy bitterness is evened out with a honey sweetness. Light saltiness. Alcohol in not present at all. Very creamy palate.

May 5, 2009 This was a big beer, won it as a lif on beeradvocate. The hops are typical ones used by FFF among their other brews. I wished this had more of a piney, citrusy nose than that of a barely wine flavor

May 3, 2009 On tap @ Map Room. Now this is a DIPA! Basically a more hoppy Alpha King that has an invisible crystal malt presence balancing it out. Incredibly well-balanced: nowhere as cloying as the Goose and far superior to the Hopslam. Amber/orange w/ a diminishing off-white head; spicy nose, characteristic FFF hops profile w/ more hop oils; sweet, honey and floral hops in flavor; long bitter finish. One for the ages- God, I love FFF!

Apr 30, 2009 22oz bottle. Thanks to beernbourbon for this one, I owe you big time. Sticky resinous hop aroma with a fruity piney smell. Crystal clear golden orange with a fluffy white head that leaves some lace. Very bitter up front but the sweetness slowly fades in but still letting the bitterness take center stage. This is a medium bodied beer with a silky mouth feel and average carbonation. The flavors are balanced well and the alcohol taste doesn’t overwhelm. This is an amazing beer and I really have to thank beernbourbon again for hooking me up. I will savor this one for hours.

Apr 30, 2009 bought a bomber from the keg in Clarksville, Indiana. Poured into pint glass. Aroma is very cirtus with grapefruit standing out the most. flavor was of hops, grapefruit, other cirtus and some apricot or peach even. For the strength and ibu profile, this beer is extremely drinkable. Best Imperial IPA I’ve ever had.
