Mar 19, 2009 Tap and bottle. Poured hazy amber with a fluffy off white head. Aroma of pine and citrus. Great hop flavor. Easy drinking. Medium bodied.

Mar 18, 2009 LOVE this beer! A truly hoppy aroma, one of wet pine needles and a floral bouquet. Flavor lacks a bit of depth, as the hops slightly overpower the malty characteristics. Could be better balanced. All in all, a great beer, just my type.

Mar 16, 2009 This one starts out a bit watery, but then develops and presents a nice piney, almost grapefruity flavor that leaves me satisfied and wanting more.. For a 7.5 ABV, it presents in a lower-end way that is entirely drinkable... over and over again.

Mar 16, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a deep copper. Nose is wonderful; a tremendous combination of American hops that makes the drinker want to just dump the whole thing on his face. On the palate, this example is obviously hop-forward, but does have an assertive malt presence on the back of the palate. Overall, an excellent example of a classic American style.

Mar 16, 2009 A hopheads dream, other Brewers... i demand equally hoppy Imperial Amber Beers. The addition of simcoe hops is very nice and the beer is incredibly refreshing.

A beautiful deep amber body under an off white head. Full of sweetness and bitterness so very nicely balanced. Pine, citrus and rind all meet in a deep and delicious beer.

Palate: Massive attack of hops upfront that is nicely balanced out with a healthy dose of sweet malt. Very very balanced!
I must thank Tröegs for making this lovely beer and making a mediocre saturday night into a really good one. This is hopjuice at its finest.

Mar 14, 2009 Bottle. Came for the hype, stayed for the tasty beer. Pretty white fluffy head begins lacing immediately. Massive pine aroma - you could make a Yankee candle out of this scent. Great mouthfeel, very substantial. Bitterness is immediate but surprisingly pleasant. Fills the mouth. I think the hope are well balanced. I don’t think I realized how much I liked this beer until I sat down to rate it. And now they are all gone. :(
