May 23, 2002 This beer was served at cellar tempature pumped out of the cask. It had a nice, rocky head but not much of a nose, which may have just been the smoker sitting next to me. It drank very smooth with strong citrus flavors like a sweet grapefruit. Nice bitter finish to balance out the flavors.

Oct 5, 2003 When I first tasted this IPA my nose was kinda FUBAR, and I was kinda out of it too... West coast hops, a nice, lasting head, the IPA itself is slightly opaque. I liked it... I know thats not saying much but my notes are kinda crappy here... The bitterness is not too extreme, and it blends into a light sweetness. The palate is rather thin.

Jun 22, 2003 Good IPA, but I was questioning the Imperial part.It wasn't extremely bitter,hoppy or alcoholic,more of a standard West Coast IPA,which is a fine style,but Imperial???

Oct 1, 2003 (cask) Slightly hazy dark gold. Flimsy white head, reasonably stable. very fruity nose (exotic fruit as passion) and yeasty - smelling like green beer. Well-bitter taste with both noble and bitter hops. Enough malts underneath to support, without sweetening. Well-bodied. Aftertaste turns out malt-sweet. Nice one. But Imperial?

Aug 16, 2003 Light amber colour with a thin white head. Served at cellar temperature. A pleasant english hop aroma comes from the beer. In
addition to the hops, there is a bit of sweetness. The taste is almost purely of malt and english hops. Once again this is a tiny bit watery, but not as much as the others. Aftertaste is a subtle malt with prominent english hops. This was most closely related to a bitter, but possibly could be considered an EPA, but definately not an IPA! Overall, better than the average bitter, and one of my favourites from the brewpub. I had this on tap at the brewpub in Denver, Colorado on 12-August-2003.

Aug 9, 2002 Very sweet-smelling nose. Mouthfeel was smooth as a baby’s bottom; maybe too smooth. Lovely aroma. Malty backbone. Not too bitter at all. Tangy in the middle, with lingering hop flavors in the finish. Tasted a lot like their ESB, only charged-up.

Oct 6, 2003 On tap at the brewpub: Clear orange with a big white head. Citrus aroma, solid body. Starts and ends moderately bitter. If this beer had a high ABV, I didn't notice it.
