Sample at Stone. This brew is a clear orange color with a thin off-white head that dissipates steadily. Spotty lacing. Aroma of yeast and bananas plus a bit of citrus. Full-bodied with flavors of yeast, banana and spices plus some yeast and hay. The finish is spicy with citrus and spice flavors and a yeast aftertaste. Pretty solid all around.

Very light yellow colour for an IPA, especially for an Imperial. Lasting white head that’s firm and leaving lace. Aroma is obviously filled with hops, some herbal pine, lots of citrus with some dish washing soap, and some exotic fruit, mostly peach and pineapple. There is a little alcohol in the flavour, and a little fruity sweetness, but it’s all about the bitterness! Delicious, insane bitterness that burns your throat a little and a strong hop flavour with fresh tobacco, pine and grapefruit notes. Some American brewers seem to prefer big IPAs with a lot of maltiness and sweetness, but this one is perfectly balanced to my taste. Not chalky dry, but dry enugh to let the hops play lead all the way.

Dark cloudy golden with a white head. Rich and very American hop flavour that offers everything - peach comes first, with pine making a strong appearance. Green grass, roses, Earl Grey tea, grapefruit and lime follows. Flavour is dry, hoppy, and of course bitter. Mouth coating and long lasting.

Bottle bought@vinens_verden,Odense. Pours amber with a lovely red hew & a creamy lasting white head & lacings. Aroma & taste is deep malty & hoppy - sweet caramel, sugar & dark fruits such as plum & raisins. Wamth from alcohol. Filling texture. Low carbonation & a velvet like mouthfeel - very soft. Quite sticky. Power lasting hoppy finish! Very sippable!

Bottle@vinens_verden,Odense: Pours gold/copper with a creamy white head. Aroma is hops mainly - a lot of grass & fruit. Piney/grapefruit. Super funky fresh & bitter taste. Crispy. Wow - extremely quaffable. A bit of bread & caramel sweetness to balance it. Just about enough of everything! Woo hah - this brother got me in check! And the alcohol is totally anonymous! So impressed!

On tap at Bulldog. Nice reddish-orange color. Fresh hop aroma with a touch of caramel and strawberries that i get with so many reds. Mouth is very balanced with some caramel upfront and then hops hit the back of the throat. Subtle bitter finish. Very nice.

Whoa, this beer is damn near chunky - I usually only see floaties this big in belgian ales - and, oh yea, she smells like San Diego all right - hugely hopped and citrusy, with loads of earthy simcoe goodness and mouth-watering cascade (they pretty much use all of my favorite hops in this one besides amarillo) - as the aroma suggest, this is one hoppy freakin’ beer - however, there isn’t much else happening here - the dry, tongue curling hop bitterness isn’t tempered by anything - at the outset, some bready malt seems to try to assert itself, but by the finish, this is like chewing on raw hops - thankfully, I love me some hops, particularly these hops, but this still needs something more.
