Sample at Daily Growler UA during the "Collaboration Celebration! Sports & Jorts & More" event on 08/04/2017. Cloudy orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Medium to full body with flavors of pithy grapefruit, resiny hops and grainy malt. The finish is malty up front with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Slightly Hazy amber and copper coloured body with a thinnish, fast-dying tan head. Aroma of alcohol, sugars, light caramel and a boatload of hops and a touch of grapefruit, but there is seemingly more malt and alcohol than hops in this one. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malty flavour with a lot of grain, alcohol, astringent and bittering notes throughout with some slight grapefruit flavours to couple with the light hop notes, but this is about all alcohol and grain. Aftertaste is a bit too much on the alcohol and malt side and not enough of the hops and grapefruit (especially). Overall, a pretty poor Imperial IPA that has a ton of alcohol, but not much else, and certainly not enough hops or grapefruit flavours. Worth passing up, especially if you plan to bring this home with you. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Beverage in Thornton, Colorado on 07-June-2017 for US$4,69 sampled at home in Washington a tad more than a month later on 09-July-2017.

Keg at Whole Foods Wauwatosa. Hazy orange, thin creamy tan head, decent retention. Aroma of grapefruit zest, pith, booze, pale malt, resin. The taste is tropical fruit, grapefruit, pine, pale malt. Medium bodied, strong lingering bitterness.

Can/Fest. A- Candy, caramel, pine. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Candy, fruity, sweet. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- No grapefruit in here anywhere as far as I can tell but I’m sure it adds to the general overall flavor of the beer. Pretty nice. Just wish for more grapefruit forwardness.

12oz can pours with a somewhat hazy deep copper to brown body that supports a full tan head of foam. At least the body looks hop heavy with haze. That’s a plus in my book. The aroma starts off with an off caramel butterscotch note that blends into malty / caramely citrus off-ness. The taste begins with a blend of grapefruit bitterness, malts, caramel and butterscotch. It then gets more malty to midway before a small surge of bitter citrus surfaces in a failed attempt at saving this beer.

It’s good, very bittersweet, but very little grapefruit character in either aroma or flavor. Thick body. Hides the alcohol well. If there was more grapefruit, might be better.
