Sep 30, 2009 Outstanding. Taste is chewy citrus hops, just enough caramel malt bachbone, and some alcohal presence to let you know this is an Imperial. Long bitter finish that deserves to be savored.

Sep 29, 2009 Bomber thanks to thelizard. Beautiful medium clear orange pour with very little white head. Sweet juicy hops with the abv lurking behind. This is seriously delicious, I’ve been waiting for months now to crack it and was so happy I did. Now I just want a couple of cases of it so I can have it for always.

Sep 26, 2009 Bottle from WLV Liquors in Chicago. One of the reasons I flew to Chicago for a short break this week was to get hold of this beer. I had been salivating over the reviews and knew that I’d like it. Great sweet, hoppy, fruity aroma. Tastes of peach, hoppy, grapefruit, incredibly smooth and luxurious, bloody hell there is load going on in this DIPA. An incredibly well balanced luxury beer. I managed to bring some bottles back to the UK with me, well worth the 8 hour flight from London. Possibly the best beer I have ever had. Awesome as you say in the States.

Sep 24, 2009 Bottle courtesy of cexshun. Holy disappointment Batman. Let me say I love FFF and I think my expectations of this beer may have been slightly inflated. Poured a deep amber color with a dense white head leaving drippy lace on the glass. Nose is citrus, pine hops and caramel. Medium to full body with an oily mouth feel and soft carbonation. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, toffee, honey, and citrus hops. Not nearly the "hop bomb" I expected actually bitterness was pretty mild throughout.

Sep 24, 2009 Good ol’ "hannont" let me sample a bottle of this a while back. Colour... cloudy orange-amber with a thick head. Nose... citrus extractives, pine resin and tropical fruits. Palate... cloying in the front, floral, sugar sirup, quince, citrus boiled sweets, Scottish toffee, extraordinary balance between malt and hops and sweet and bitter as well as being quite coating and having an especially long finish!

Sep 23, 2009 Pours a hazy orange. Nose is resiny hops, sticky dank pine, citrus and flowery sweet hops mixed with some hints of sweet sugary toffee and caramel. Flavor is a bit less than the nose. Sweet sticky hops, and loads of caramel. More on the dry side. Slightly bitter. Good beer, but was looking for more in such a high;y regarded beer.
