Titan IPA is a big, aggressively hopped India Pale Ale brewed for hop disciples. It starts out with piney hop aromas and citrus hop flavors, and finishes with a nice rich, malty sweetness that is balanced with crisp hop bitterness.

Bottled on 1-18-2011.
Poured into a pint glass, 2-finger head that settled to a constant cap.
Color is a copper/amber color, clean and clear throughout.
Nose and palate are of piney hops, grapefruit, orange peel, malt, and fainter, but present apricot notes.
Mouthfeel starts with the initial hit of hops, leading to a medium-dry, medium-body, finishing out with the hops again, but with a welcome amount of malt for balance.
Very enjoyable overall, from start, to finish, this is a go-to IPA for me, as it's fairly versatile (for an IPA) with food, and very good on it's own. Also good for multiple rounds as it's not too sweet or heavy, but still has enough stuffing to hold my interest.

Had on tap at boondocks fun center Thornton
On arrival there is a very light haze in a deep gold body dome lacing forms.
Aroma is more of an old school WCIPA, with a touch of dank edd, and an almost toasty malt in the very back. Not as intense as expected. Slight bitter herbal hops that are almost but not quite piney.
Taste follows the aroma with a decent bitterness right up front, that carries an herbal, dank, flavor that fades slightly to a mellow pine resin, and toasted malt. Super clean and crisp.
The feel is super smooth, due to a dryness taming the full malty body. Finish is longer and is very balanced with a slight warming sensation. Very good 7%+ IPA in this category.
Overall this is pretty good. Nothing crazy out of the ordinary, but a solid WC style IPA with a reasonably unique hop profile.

11/20/22 12oz can from Washington Beer store. Chilly Sunday afternoon before the Steelers/Browns game.
Look is a cloudy gold in Leah's glass, but clear in mine? Same can.
Aroma is tropical pineapple and mango. Slight maltiness.
Decent carbonation. Sweet breadiness, bordering on banana bread. Slight sour undertones. Nice mouthfeel. Hop is present through the whole experience.
Not overly powerful. Brewer's notes describe this well.

Poured a slightly hazy light orange amber color with a two finger white head that dissipated slowly leaving heavy lacing. I suspect that the haziness is from being a few months past the can date.
Fruity nose with pineapple and citrus.
Malty flavor balanced with citrus and a piney finish.
Medium body and carbonation.
Overall, an enjoyable AIPA.
