ABV: 8.3% IBU: 126 Ticks: 32
Our original high gravity beer. A dense blend of base malts sets a solid foundation for massive additions of Cascade hops and a Chinook dry-hopping. The result is an intense flavor profile that's citrusy with heavy notes of pine, and immensely delicious.

Hazy copper pour. Frothy white head. Aromas of resinous pine, juicy citrus and some light cereals. Good mouth feel, soft carbonation. The finish is quite heavy on the pine, and the citrus dissipates. A nice beer, but light and for a double IPA.

4 week old bottle A: Poured hard to 1/2 of tan foam that never completely dissipated and laced thickly. Deep dull orange gold color S: Heavy on caramel and toffee with sweet/tart citrus notescompeting in balance. T: Bitter and fruity hops hit first with wood and sweet bread malts joining, again in very nice balance. M: Full bodied with active carbonation and a somewhat clean finish. O: Not a favorite style due to the high ABV but the high scores are understandable. Seems very well done and is quite tasty but I'm glad I only have one!

Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark amber color with a large fluffy white head that left good lacing. The aroma was sweet and tangy with tropical fruit and pine. The flavor was sweet and tangy with strong tropical fruit, pine and fruit cocktail. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Fairly hazy copper and bright peach coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall just off-white head that fades fairly quickly and doesn't leave much on top. Aroma of very nice and floral grassy and herbal elements with a lot of the full hop bud noticeable along with some light alcohol and supportive malts and a touch of caster sugar and fruit-based sweetness near the end. Medium to Full-bodied; Deep robust and rich malt flavours that blend perfectly well with the well-hopped and pungent bitterness and floral, dank grassy flavours that come through with all the hops. Aftertaste is a touch floral with some good maltiness, a little dose of sweetness and fruity flavours come through, but the perfumey and herbal character shows through and is quite nice. Overall, a very well-balanced Imperial IPA with a ton of hop elements without a pungent bitterness, but a good span into complexity and more herbal and grassy qualities as well and away from alcohol and pungency. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina on 09-May-2018 for US$2,75 sampled exactly a month later at home in Washington on 09-June-2018.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Bruisin' Ales, 1/5/15

Aroma: The aroma is lighter than I expected, citrus/orange, pine notes, dough, and booze
Appearance: This one pours a clear orange color with a beige head that coats the glass
Flavor: The sweetness and citrus are subtle, bitterness comes through more than anything else
Palate: Medium-plus bodied, light heat, with a soft-to-average carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: This one definitely needs to warm up a bit, when it is too cold the aroma is a little lacking. Once it warns up, it improves, but it still isn't amazing. A DIPA from Foothills? Sounded exciting. This is okay, but I expected this one to be better.

From a 22 oz bottle shared at home. Pours a clear copper with a thick off white head. Fruity hop nose. Flavors of citrus with some caramel notes. Bitter, but not over the top. Pleasant DIPA.
