Had this in Santa rosa a couple years back. Great beer. Balanced with a punch

Strong hoppy, piney and citrus notes on initial smell. Definite grapefruit and citrus flavors tasted at first, with a strong, but pleasant hoppy bitterness on the back end. Overall, a well-balanced Imperial IPA!

Very balanced and easy to drink

Orange golden with two finger off-white head. Extremely floral and piney aromas are extraordinary and equally enjoyable in the taste. Citrus flavor is present via grapefruit that leads into slightly bitter finish. Malty backbone balances this brew very nicely. This is an unbelievable Imperial IPA and among the best beers I have ever enjoyed.

As far as this ipa goes, it has a very refreshing, yet not overwhelming taste to it

Smooth floral notes, malt seems to balance the hops extremely well

Strong aromas of piney weed. Excellent finish. Very hoppy.

Absolutely undrinkable. Pine Sol. Not just bitter and hoppy. Astringent and medicinal.
