The alcohol is extremely well hidden in the complexity. Have a few pints, you’ll know what I mean. herbjones (742), Orange, California, USA

Nose is a big,crisp citrus slap in the face. Wow! A little sweetness followed by a big hop bite that is pleasantly not overly bitter. Like a sweetened grapefruit almost.Lush and creamy mouthfeel along with the outstanding flavor makes this a truly remarkable and enjoyable brew. Rockinout (946), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 7, 2003 22oz bottle. Strong nose of citrus, pine, some berry. Thick white head with very nice lacing. Sharp American hop taste from the begining to the lingering finish yet is balanced by some malts, somewhat sweet at times. A full bodied huge beer with the alcohol well hidden. ante (2960), Stockholm, Sweden

Big, thick longlasting white head. Heck, what an aroma... Piney, citrousy, sparkling hops. And of course, grapefruit... I am just stunned by this aroma... Taste is just like a hop liquidid and/or light spirit. Very grapefruity and floral flavour. I can barely taste the alcohol. But it is evident in the belly. World-class, of course. This new double IPA style really had a huge impress on me. Sooo. thanks ciderguy for this truly marvelous beer!! CamdenD (613), Madrid, Spain

Huge floral nose and deep long bitter and balanced taste. This basically seems to be what an IIPA should be.

I've had this three different ways: on tap at a beer fest, on a hand pull at a great beer bar, and finally in 650 mL bottles tonight. Great balance with sweet malty undertones. Strong citrus hop as well, but not too bad. Sometimes a little sweeter for an Imperial IPA than I might like (especially on hand pull) but still very above average. I guess there is more than corn in Indiana. Thanks Three Floyds!!! jde123 (715), Washington, Washington DC, USA
