Nice beer on a whole, but to my taste, maybe a bit bitter on the initial taste, and then mellows a bit, leaving a little bit of that bitterness on the back of the tongue. Generally, I like IIPAs a lot, but this wouldn't be my top shelf pick. But that's just me, and it's just tonight, I'm sure I'll try it again.

Dark honey color. Ok head. Fruity and honey-nutty nose. Nice hops forward, good malt flavor with a nice blend of citrus and a hint of sweetness. Pleasantly bitter aftertaste.

Good ipa. Pours on the darker side of amber, best head retention I have seen in a while. Piney citrus aroma. Caramel malty flavor, nice hop balance, not too bitter.

Thick head. Citrus aroma. Grapefruit and mild pine flavor. Some hop bitterness. Not much better than the regular ipa by these guys.

Hoppy yet fruity. Scent off glass is delicious and appealing. Taste not as appetizing as scent. Very good for imperial IPA.

Apricot and peach on the nose. Even palate with apricot, mango, and honey. Nice fast semi bitter finish. Clean and delicious.

Smooth IPA that is remarkably good despite the low cost. Nice hop and malt favors with a nice blend of citrus and a hint of floral notes. Real nice pour with a good head. Pleasant aftertaste. Will drink many more of these.

At Red Papaya opening. 04/18/12

Not my favorite IPA. It has a little to much of that malt flavor that I don't like. Not well balanced
