a perfect IPA ... beautiful orange gold color with offwhite head, aromas of grapefruit and pine, tastes like juicy grapefruit ... a lot of juice. and 100ibu's to boot. neck in neck with green flash west coast ipa as my favorite.

Top 10 Imperial IPA. Great fragrance, just enough hop bitterness

Always tremendous. Stone is an all time favorite. Consistently great.

Very hoppy. Sticks with you after taste. Slight citrus taste. Love the description on the bottle of ruination!!

Very aggressive tasting at first, calms down to a very flavorful beer

Good, solid, tasty Imperial IPA. Not as much of a hop blast as expected, but the claim to ruin the palate (at least temporarily) holds somewhat true. This one may become my default double IPA, being good and easily accessible here. My only complaint is that along with the ruining of taste comes horrible dry mouth. Bottle.

Medium copper, nice lacing, smooth up front, slightly bitter after taste . A solid DIPA

Strong pine hops, no lingering nasty aftertaste, just dry palate. Well done!
