Shipped to me by my wife from a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy apricot color with a large yellow-white head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was tart pineapple, grapefruit, lemon and yeast. The flavor was sour and nutty malts with bitter sweet pine and grapefruit. The finish was long with pineapple and grapefruit lingering. Fairly full bodied. Good.

12 oz bottle into snifter. Thanks, Brenn79! Aromas of piney hops, grapefruit, floral notes. Pours semi-hazy bronze with a huge head that retains itself admirably. Great lacework. Taste is sweet then bitter. The bitterness lingers on the tongue for awhile. Carbonation is medium. Slightly oily. Very nice.

Shipped to my by my wife from her trip to Portland this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a large yellow-white head that produced some lacing. The aroma was faint and sweetish with notes of pine, grapefruit, lemon and caramel. The flavor was bitter and tart with moderate notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, nut and sweetish malts. the finsih was long with lemon and grapefruit dominating. Medium body. Pleasant but somewhat subdued.

Nice caramel and golden coloured body with a thinnish tan head and a nice glow. Aroma of potent cascade hops, with a bunch of alcohol and a plentiful amount of sugars. Medium-bodied; Assertive potent hops with a medicinal, earthy and almost syrupy flavour showing a good malt backbone, some alcohol and a pleasant finish. Aftertaste has a lot of hop bitterness, some mild sugars and not much else - perhaps a good overlay of malt. Overall, a good imperial ipa, on the lighter side for the style, and one that I prefer, since I like normal IPAs much more than Imperials. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Colorado Liquor Mart in Denver, Colorado on 14-February-2010, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 10-April-2010.

Bottle pours out a dark mahogany topped with a small head. Aroma of sweet malts. Plenty caramel and toffee along with a light hop ring. Taste was much of the aroma lots of sweetness and thick malts. Not to bad.

Bottle. Poured dark red with medium creamy head. Little lacing. Malty aroma with toffee notes. Malty flavour with a bit of vanilla from the barrel and a tiny bit of smokiness. Malty finish without being sweet.

Hazy yellow color, small white head. Bready, slightly citrusy and grainy nose. Bready, pale malty flavor, a bit harsh finish. Palate is watery. There is some good points in this beer, but overall too light.
