Orangish amber pour with nice fluffy head, soft hoppy aroma, taste is more tart and bitter, pine notes on the finish. Nice sharp DIPA (west coast style)

Bottled 2/4/15; drank 3/9/15 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque light orange appearance; white flotsam.
Big eggshell head; frothy lace.
Grapefruit, caramel & pine needle notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Pine needle & caramel flavors up front; a grapefruit bite on the finish. As this warmed, a nice peanut butter (!) note emerged.
Not normally my flavor profile, but this was interesting & tasty. I'd have another.

Pours a pale, murky golden orange, with probable 'junk in the trunk' at a glance, rather few carb bubbles, drifting slow.
Thin head of fine bubbles. Lacing present.
Sour malt scent. Lemon Aura.
Taste follows the nose, crisp and sour malt, with a citrus hint; loaf of lime, with half a hint of grapefruit-pine. Bold booze.
If finesse is you aim, move on. For an 8.5% this is super easy drinking.

First imperial IPA I ever had and over whelmed. This a "the bar" for imperial IPAs when first i was first exploring IPAs. Seek this Beer for I think is a good starting gold standard to compare imperial IPAs. Coronado is another brewery that everything they make is worth a try. like Ballast Point, Deschutes just to name just two.
