Wow... A pretty decent imperial IPA. Lots of piney hops in the aroma and taste. Bit of citrus and quite boozy. Poured with 1" of head that disappeared quickly. I could've used a little more floral or citrus. Maybe a little too piney for me but still a really enjoyable brew.

Having at Fire. Not my style hop bitterness. Like a little more sweetness.

Tastes great. Needs more floral aroma. Hurts stomach.

Strong pine aroma; incredibly hoppy. Malty sweetness at finish; a damn good double IPA. Up there with the best. Great sipping ale

20OCT12, Hay Merchant, Houston, TX Draft, tulip Aroma is hoppy and grassy. Flavor is great, grassiness transfers over and there's a mild amount of maltiness. Light-to-medium dry finish with light-to-medium mouthfeel. 16DEC13, Flanagan's, Louisville, KY Draft, conical pint Opaque files cir with mild white head and thick, persistent film of a head. Agree us mostly grassy with little malt and mild but flavorful bitterness.

Much better than torpedo in that it actually had a taste profile besides pine. Still a little more grapefruit and like biting into a mountain tree than I would prefer, but good.
