Not as good as hop slam but still a great beer. Very clean and hoppy. Sweet smell but a bit bitter.





Very light for a double/imperial. Excellent hoppy flavor that isn't at all overpowered by the 8%. Notes of grapefruit and citrus to finish.



Really is the best beer ever, great balance of hops and flavor with a lasting, powerful finish. Even the color is spot on, the bottle is pretty cool too. The hype is for real



Believe the hype! Very high gravity, but nice feel. Sweet start with a hoppy finish. Well worth the effort to find.



Good seems dry DIPA. I would like a slightly sweeter finish. It does have a little, slight sweet kick but not much.







Delicate floral, grapefruit aroma, medium to high carbonation, nice sharp flavor very hoppy but great undertones of malt to mellow out. Great bitter aftertaste that lingers but not too harsh. High alcohol but wouldn't know it by its dynamic flavor without knocking over head



Agree with Jeff, younger is better. But you can never go wrong with this delightfully smooth, yet full bodied ale. Brewed to perfection with a complex and well balanced flavor.
