Finally had this beer and it lives up to the hype!!! Clear golden in color with a razor thin white head and a pungent super fresh hop aroma that blows stones enjoy by out of the water, it's has a heavy resiny dank aroma sort of like a cross between freshly cut grass and good marijuana. Medium in body it's an imperial without the syrupy Texture. Dance on your tongue with tropical flavors of pineapple & grapefruit, opening up into an herbal resiny hop finish. Surprisingly drinkable this is a gold standard for imperial IPAs. Had again on draft in Denver 9/13 and this beer is so good so tasty so awesome.

Great Imperial IPA. Wonderful citrus and piny aroma. Flavors of grapefruit and mango. The Imperial IPA that I compare all others to.

Easy to drink a hint of bitter. I recommend you try it.

Lives up to the hype. Probably the best balanced IPA I have ever had. Very nice floral citrus nose. Good malt backbone, some bitter hops, some citrus, some grapefruit. Smooth and drinkable at the high abv. Damn near perfect.

Almost identical hop profile to MBC Lunch, but more intense and fuller bodied. Great double ipa.

This beer is quite near perfection in a glass. Very big (HUGE) and malty with high alcohol but balanced very nicely on all 3 planes. Don't find it often but always happy when I do!
