Rich copper coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of alcohol, pine, resin, grass, grapefruit and a touch of yeast mixed with bread. Full-bodied; Piney flavour with some grapefruit and herbal notes right behind. Metal, alcohol, dry oak and some white grapes then dominate with the alcohol the strongest. Aftertaste shows a very dry, herbal, grassy finish with a ton of hop bitterness, quite a bit of alcohol warmth and a herbal flavour that shows just about no sweetness at all. Overall, a pungent and long-lasting Imperial IPA with perhaps a touch too much alcohol and metal notes and not enough sweetness and complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 05-July-2015 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 03-November-2015.

12 oz. bottle thanks to Brian for this spilt. Hazy orange color, nice lacy head retention. Aroma is a good level of pine and light floral hops with traces of malts.
Mouthfeel is a chewy malt yeast like feel. The bitterness is fairly moderate with a mix of the pine and floral hops. Almost astringent bitterness. Overall if we were playing golf, this would be par for the course. Not bad. And I got to say I love the label!!

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 5/22/15
Aroma: It has a strongly sweet citrus and caramel aroma, with some resiny notes
Appearance: It pours a murky orange color with a small beige head and mid-heavy lace
Flavor: Tastes along the same lines, some sweetness, and a strong bitterness
Palate: The body is medium-full, with a soft to average carbonation, and a heavy dry finish
Overall Impression: This is a solid one, but not an amazing one. The hops are certainly here, but not to the extent that I wanted them to be. There's just something that doesn't exactly work quite right.
