look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Pours a thick, frothy head to it, traditional of ones that are common to IPA's.

Color is light yellow, similar to a lager or common IPA.

Scent is heavy on hops, as one would expect a Double IPA, especially with the Founders Brand to it.

Taste is also heavy on hops; it almost feels like what the beer was made for. As Double IPA's go, its mouthful and consistency are everything what you'd expect for a beer of its caliber.

In terms of drinkability, this beer is a true monster. It's a hop monster that takes no prisoners. In that regard, those that can take on the hop can really get to this beer.

Pours a hazy apricot color with a minimal white head. Tiny streams of bubbles can be seen streaming up from the bottom of the glass. Aroma is quite pleasant, smelling of passion fruit, peach, grapefruit, and some pine. In spite of the pine's modest presence in the nose, it comes through full force in the flavor--we're talking full-on Pine Sol here. Any fruits are very difficult to discern behind the resinous backbone. Perhaps some grapefruit sneaks through? There's also a grassy funkiness--the hop bitterness isn't quite as "clean" as I've found in other high caliber IPAs. The mouthfeel is a little thin, but acceptable for the style.

The bottle says Imperial IPA, and this has all the fierce bitterness you'd expect with that. If I liked IPA's, I'd probably be really enjoy this.

Pours a cloudy amber with a thin white head.

The smell is citrus and piney hops.

The taste is bitter, citrus hop and pine. There is a sweet malt back bone but the bitterness takes the forefront.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied and oily. My youngest feels like it is coated in bitter hops.

A very good and hoppy bitter dipa. Hides its abv very well.
