Bottle. (trade with Papsoe) Clear, golden-copper color with a beige head. Pine, hops and tropical fruits in the aroma. The flavor is quite bitter and fruity, with pine and tropical fruits, the latter dominating the fruit-part. Full body. Very piney finish with a distinct bitterness. I find it a bit on the hoppy side, but it is a nice beer. Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. 070608
On tap at the Atlanta airport taphouse, terminal A. Looking cute in the glass, even though there’s not much head, just a thin layer of off-white bubbles. Some lacings. It’s deep golden in color, and clear. The aroma is peachy and citrusy, sure nice, but lacking some of the freshness found in the Lowryder IPA. Still not much malts to be detected. The flavor has a nice bitterness, with citrus peel and resins, and a little malty sweetness as a backdrop. Full body and a soft carbonation. Bitter, resiny finish. I could easily drink more of this, but it’s far from the most exciting IPA I’ve had. 140511

Enjoyed at the csbosox tasting 7/3 courtesy of tjthresh. Pour is brown with some reddish highlights. Aroma is almost a scotch roasted toffee malt, very sweet. Taste is scotch malt and the spiciness - some nuttiness and pepper (black - spicy). The finish is very dry and quick.

Bottled. Golden/orange almost clear body with an off white head. Powerful and delicious citrus aroma. Flavor is relatively mild malt, some bitterness and a bit sweet. This is a well balanced and nice IPA but I don’t fin it too special. A nice and quite typical American IPA.

Bottle from TBC2 (thanks, Matt!) - fairly opaque poor, with not much head to speak of - very woody (oak), hoppy aroma, with vanilla and spent coffee grounds, and touches of blueberry in the background - quite woody and dry up front, with strong bitterness, coupled with bright berry fruitiness - some cream and coffee arrive after that, along with some vanilla, brown sugar, and a light touch of caramel - fairly dry for an imperial stout, and the higher hop profile actually compliments this pretty well - not a great impy, but nice.

Strong resiny hop aroma. Floral? Could be. Has that hint of feline expression - in a good way. Dark golden color with a white head. Starts with clean refreshing resiny piny hop. Medium+ mouthfeel. Malt? Anyway, after the first piny hints, it comes out floral. The finish is not quite dry, not all that bitter. The hop seems to flucate between pine and floral. It is really, really, good. The cat related smell is still there, but it’s nothing compared to a real cat situation. Malt?

sample from bottle at DLD - Pours black with a very nice pine and citrus hop aroma. Interesting. I’m tasting roast malt, pine hops, and a bit of fruitiness. It’s medium bodied, which seems like for an Impy, and has light carbonation. The finish is moderately bitter. It’s certainly different and pretty good too.

Nice but on the light side of impies. Reportedly dry hopped but I got very little hops in the nose, instead it was a milk chocolatey roasty love fest. Very dark brown, and brown head. Flavor was roasty and chocolatey with a touch of coffee. Palate on the thin side, but it mad this very easy drinking and smooth.
