Pours an orangish color. Fair size head, decent retention, good amounts of lacing mark the glass.

The nose is bursting with hops, citrus, orange, tropical fruits. All the good stuff.

An abundance of hops hit the palate. Lots of citrus, grapefruit, the malts balances everything nicely. A very highly drinkable DIPA. The alcohol is completely undetectable to me. This is an amazing brew glad to have had the opportunity to buy a couple.

L: The beer itself is a amber orange color. With very little head to speak of. What there was is gone immediately.
S: oh lots of sweetness on the nose. Oh that deliscious candied apricot hops smell that I love so much. Just a touch of malt sweetness as well.
T:Sweet candied apricots right away. But there is also a tad bit of a floral hoppiness that really sticks on the back pallet. Not only that, but some dry piney hops as well.
M: Big fat round bubbles for a full mouthfeel. It makes you think it is syrupy, but its more full than that.
D:Man I love this DIPA baby. It is friggin great.

Holy cow, this beer packs a real punch! Good head for the high alcohol content and left decent lacing down the glass. Huge hoppy aroma and flavors up front with hints of citrus, pine, sweet, bready malts, candied fruits. Delicious taste throughout. One of the best tasting DIPA's out there. It was quite carbonated but the body of this brew is thick and syrupy that coated the mouth. Super smooth, great flavor. Nice brew!!

A - Served in a chalice glass. Pours 2 fingers off sticky, off-white head. It laces everything it touches and has a pretty good retention. The beer is a dark amber, almost looking red in some light. This beer just looks tempting.

S - There are definitely some hops in the nose, but not quite as powerful as one would expect from a beer like this. Sweet malts and citrus take the spotlight. Undeniably inviting.

M - A medium to full bodied beer with a fairly creamy and smooth feel to it.

T - The hops are very apparent on the taste buds at first with pine and citrus flavors showing up. Then comes a masterful balance of sweet malts eventually fading into some more piny hops. The aftertaste is a combination of bitter and sweet. The high alcohol content is very well hidden in the taste but it can be felt going down.

A great DIPA. Not your traditional hop bomb flavored bitter beer that I have come accustom too. Instead it's a great balance of malts/hops that creates a unique "unearthly" taste.

This beer was really amazing. I originally had it in a 22oz. bottle and was extremely impressed, but then got a keg for my home kegerator and it is even better. For starters let's start with the alcohol. It is almost not noticeable until you have 3 pints, and you are finding it difficult to think clearly.

The taste is nothing short of spectacular. Strong, leafy hop flavors almost overpower my senses. A slightly fruity bitterness explodes from the start and lasts until the end of each pint. Toasty malt underlies the massive hop assault. A juicy bitterness and tonnes of hop aroma make for a never ending finish. Another pleasant suprise is the lack of head that comes out with every pint, maximum of 1 finger.

All in all I say that this beer is remarkable. I am anxiously waiting for the local store to get the Iniquity, Big Red and new Farmers Tan. I need to add them all to my kegerator ASAP.

Had this on tap at Bulldog in Yurakucho, Tokyo. Poured into a tulip glass. Cloudy bronze brew with a thick crepe-looking head. Amazing rich bitter hops with a sweetness of miso paste and sweet caramel malts. Aroma matches following the hop side more closely. The lacing slides down the glass and glitters like a fireworks shower explosion. Sweetness of miso and caramel peanuts remains in the aftertaste with a bit of excess gas. Overall, an amazing strong IPA with its 125 IBUs that will lead me to more Southern Tiers. Easily one of my favorite IPAs ever.

crystal clear coppery amber, with a thin not quite white head.
not as hoppy of an aroma as you might expect. relatively subtle orangey citrus and earthy pine with a substantial amount of malty caramel. it got an almost pineapple caramel cookie like quality to it. gonna go with 4.0 here, it falls somewhere in between 4.0 and 4.5, but i'm looking for a little more here.
now the taste... this is what i'm talking about. lots of juicy hops, with orange marmalade, pine needle, and maybe a little pineapple flavor. excellently balanced with lots of rich caramel malts and at times the almost cake or cookie like quality from the nose. good lord it's delicious. well hidden abv too.
fairly full bodied with smooth mellow carbonation. finds a way to not not be syrupy at all. exhalation of citrusy bitterness after i swallow. perfect.
very good drinkability for a double IPA or any beer for that matter, the bomber is almost gone and it seems like i just started. a rock solid example of the style, and a near perfect beer. this one definitely achieves excellence.

Pours a dark red, ruby with some orange hues. Very interesting color for a DIPA. 1/2" white head with moderate retention.
Smells kind of barleywinish. Very sweet with many fruity aromas. More tropical than citrus or piney. Think mango.
WOWWWW!!! This is one hellva beer. Huge hoppiness. piney,citrus,tropical. Huge sweetness. Brown sugar, caramel. The most deceptive 11% beer I've ever had. Man this is fantastic. This beer has it all. Nice hop profile, big malty sweetness, hidden booze.
For such a big beer in complexity, flavor and alcohol, the mouthfeel is silky smooth. It is mind boggling how this beer so big in flavor and go down so easy.
It's a sipping beer that's hard to sip.
Thank you Florida Gators for the beer.
Thank you jasonm and TheManiacalOne for sending it.

A- awesome hazy unfiltered looking apricot orange. This one looks beautiful in the tall, gracefully shaped stone levitation silver rimmed tulip. The foam is remarkable. It has the color and texture of whipped butter (like if you put cream in a jar and shake it) and the lace is just shoooo all over the place all drippy and sticky and whatnot. Haven't seen anything finer and this review is bound to be full of extraterrestrial and supernatural metaphors.

S- this one has the ideal nose to suit my standard for a DIPA. It's got that stellar marshmallow toffee wonderbong, baby!!!! Run through goldings in the hop back? Whaaaat?!?! Usually can't go wrong with 3 of the C's IMO and the nose is full of unexpected creamy fruits and berries like melon and strawberry with undertones of sweet pipe tobacco, vanilla, cedar, mushroom and cured hardwood. When cold, the hops really only come through in a lemony orange dish soap kinda way but as the beer warms just a bit watch out.. Grapefruit, peach, pear, mango, passion fruit, tropical outer space madness-- but not at all harsh and nostril ripping. Fermented tartness like full sour dills with a coriander spice note add another sprightly layer to what is already an amazing aroma.

T- so as my beard nears the lip of the glass and my lips protrude toward it, I begin to feel some apprehension, as if this beer will be so hoppy that it will slaughter me, leave me on the floor twitching in ghastly agony, aware of my former existence but unable to return to it. So I take a small sip and feel the sting. Just a precursor, I say to myself, just like licking the cut half of a scotch bonnet just to see what you're in for. Then a full and hearty draught. This is actually quite tame! And balanced! And, at first maybe even a little too sweet! My dog, laying at my feet raises her almond eyes to me and then adjusts her position into a big curled up ball, as if a cold wind had suddenly blown through the dining room. The beer is sweet. Very sweet and woodsy and burboun barrelish. Toffee and cashew brittle. Caramel and obnoxious fun. Very fresh barley malt with a tart fermented edge, same as the aroma with subtle hints of caraway and the creamy light nuttiness of pinoli with brown sugar and faint sweetened peanut butter. Then sha-BAM, POW, WAP! Hi, I'm the hop poltergeist and I'm here to f#%k your shit up. Spiraling into another dimension, I try to grasp the concept of, and ultimately put into words, how the hops transform the cloying sweetness into a balance that the scales of Themis would struggle to achieve. I, however can tell you who the perpetrator is: chinook. His astringent bitterness long outlasts the sugary malt and the wonderful tropical pineapple grapefruit orange like mango 'fruity' hops and rasps away any sweetness that is brave enough to linger. Hell, there's even hints of motor oil. But there IS NOT any trace of alcohol.

MF- this other struggle happens in the feel. There's a slickness, an oily alpha acid tongue roughening numbing bitterness altogether with sugary somethings and cheek drying alcohol. No burn in the chest, no sense of sipping a cocktail, only the buzzing of your body and the awareness in your mind that you've damn near written a novel to review a beer. Lip stickiness I can feel my mustache and beard hairs sticking together. I feel proud.

D- overall, southern tier is my new favorite American brewery, at least for its imperial series. I'm embarrassed at how many times I've passed them by. Unearthly, mokah, java, creme brulee, and pumking all deserve a plot of land on the moon. Or mars, whichever we get to first. The play of sweet on bitter here astounds me. Like I don't know whether to 5 it or not. BUT-- if there's question, it must not be the one. Damn close though.

Poured a great rich clear bronze witha very well retained 1/2 finger head with a fine bead just a pleasure to look at I have to say.The aromas are quite citric alot grapefruit in there maybe a note of apricot over top of caramel malt a whif of alcohol shows thru more so as it warms.This is not an in your face DIPA although the hops do pack a good punch not to mention alot of complexities citrus and piney cascades and chinooks really show themselves I even get a little earthiness as it warms saying all that there is a big enough of juicy lightly sweet caramel malt backbone to almost hold up against the hop onslaught.Wow amazed at this beer the alcohol is so well hidden you would have no idea how big it was and the hops take the show,"an unhibited infusion of hops" per bottle that sums it up,kick ass!

Viggo hooked me up with this one. thanks eric!

pours a nice golden amber colour with a huge tan head. head drops slowly and leaves lots of rocky lace behind.

aroma is great. major hop attack. grapefruit and pine. nice malty sweetness behind the hops. alcohol hidden well.

taste is great. really nice pine and grapefruit hop flavour. resiny bitterness. bitterness is high, but works well. great bready and biscuity malt. caramel, but not overly sweet. wow. if i didn't know this was 11% i'd swear it wasn't above 8%. very well balanced.

mouthfeel is great. nice body, good carbonation level.

drinkability is dangerously good. as i said above, so well balanced you'd never know it is more than 7 or 8%abv. really great beer and a definite treat for the hopheads out there.

Pours orange-red with a big frothy white head.

Huge, juicy sweet grapefruit nose. Simply astoundingly beautiful.

Front end hop loaded, with huge sweet resinous grapefruit flavors. Very nice raisin like caramel maltiness. Soft, balanced bitterness. Perfect, but for a reasonably strong alcohol burn.

Medium bodied with a soft, supple carbonation. Very nicely balanced DIPA, but a bit heavy on the alcohol character.

Scored this 22oz bottle in a trade with BanditBrewingCo.

Pours an extremely clear copper color, with a sizeable white head of very small bubbles. Aroma is a truckload of Cascade hops, like smelling a handful of pellets on brew day. There's a heavy note of sweet citrus (oranges, mostly), and a pungent grassiness as well. In the taste, the hops are more peppery/earthy/vegetal; aside from the slight caramel flavor, this beer is very dry in the mouth. For a big IPA, the malt is very impressive, as it plays a supporting role while still being very interesting in its own right. The red wheat definitely comes through with a sharp tartness in the finish. The alcohol level in this beer is near-invisible, and if I didn't know any better, I'd guess it was maybe 7%ABV. This beer definitely sets itself apart in a very crowded category.

Bottle I think I purchased in Jungle Jims in Ohio.
Think it may be 3 yrs old?! The paint is coming off the bottle.

Heavy body, gentle pour. Surprised to see a respectable head. Dark, creamy. But not stable. Carbonation enough to make a pudding top.

Potent. Bitter, smooth, burnt thing. Stunning.
Mouth watering. Dry and warming.
Long lasting bitter flavors. Natural mouth numbing.

Hard drink, great flavors, but challenging to drink.

Huge pineapple and grapefruit nose. Beautiful floral hop aroma. Pours a hazy orange/straw color with a nice and sticky 2 finger head.

Spicy and breadfruit up front, lots of tropical fruit tastes in the middle. Big and juicy and smooth in body. Slightly bitter finish, doesn't blend with the juiciness but instead cuts in near the end. Its not a bad thing though and only adds another layer of flavor.

Stands out amongst the crowd when it comes to dipas probably a different hop selection then the usual, less citrus but a ton more tropical fruit, its fantastic.

Unearthly indeed!

appearance
Great amber color. Like good jewelry. Medium head that sticks around the whole time. Small amount of lacing that stays put until I pour more into the snifter.

smell
Cascade hops are prevalent, but there are some more in there. I’ll read the bottle in a minute. Fruity, citrus, hoppy, and sweet. My wife says apricots.

taste
Sweet malt and hop bitterness intertwine. Very buttery finish. Good balance of sweet and bitter. Wow these are good hops. This one isn’t about the quantity of the hops, but the quality. It’s just plain NICE.

mouthfeel
Just right. Thick enough to know there’s lots of goodness packed in there, but not syrupy at all.

drinkability
I like my big beers. This one packs a perfect punch without being too aggressive. I thought there would be more alcohol burn, but it’s hidden beneath all the tastes. Let’s just say it’s got all the flavor without all the “Arrogance”. (A.B. is another favorite)

comments
Southern Tier has a good thing going with their new series. It’s just smart marketing in my opinion. The 22oz bottles make for a good sit down session at home. I LOVE that they list the specific hops, malts and grains they use. Now that I’m a home brewer, I can actually visualize what went into the beer I am drinking. It’ll also come in handy when I try to make a clone of this one!

Pours a semi-clear, reddish/amber color with a magnificent, off-white, creamy head that retains wonderfully. Great lacing leaves my glassware beautifully decorated as well. Nice!!!

Aroma is of huge citrusy hops, with a strong sweet malty backbone. Lots of grassy notes are present as well, including hop spiciness, candy, and wonderful floral hoppy notes. No alcohol detected in the nose at all, even though this brew clocks in at 11.0% abv. Outstanding.

Taste is just phenomenal. Spicy and huge piney hops up front with an amazing malty flavored backbone. Grassy, earthy, and ending semi-dry but not astringent. From the smell, you would think this beer would be a bit on the sweet side even though it isn't. Ridiculously smooth and balanced. Alcohol @ 11.0 is hardly detected!!

Mouthfeel is rich and velvety with moderate carbonation. Great feel for an Impy IPA.

Judging based solely on flavor, I could drink this baby all damn day. It is that good...no, GREAT. Throw in the alcohol factor, and I would have to say one bomber is enough. Tolerance allowing though, this is just smooth as silk and ultra-balanced. A magnificent Imperial IPA, Triple IPA even, that is probably my second favorite, right behind Yulesmith. Which is a feat in itself. Hats off to Southern Tier for brewing one of the best beers in the entire world.

Clear amber, but hard to see thru. This must be a thick as a brick brew. Massive pillow top of ivory goodness, the lace is sticking to the glass an 1/8 inch thick. Impressive.

A citrusly orange aroma swirls outa the Corsendork tulip (thanks Soloman420). And then, the sweet and sour floral sips really kicks in, this thing is covering all aspects of the tongue’s senses. The oil will leave a sticky sheen on the lips and gums – smack, smack, smack. Sharp and crisp as first, the oiliness does show up for a big finish. Oh, the 11% is no where to be found, it musta been a typo on the bottle.

Great, great brew that I’ve had the good fortune to sample as a result of <winning> super bowl o beer 2007 – and ol Mark, the TheManiacalOne, was kind enough to pay with.

Thanks to pieper for sending this my way. An excellent recommendation. 22oz poured into a beer tasting snifter.

Pours a clear deep golden color with a short eggshell head that fades quickly but leaves a little nice lacing.

Smell is very enticing with plenty of fresh pine needles, resin, and cereal. Some citrus kind of hangs back with a light sweetness.

Taste very closely follows the nose, with full piny resiny hops up front and a solid grainy base. I'm really impressed with the delicate balance of this beer despite all it's imperial strength. Almost light and crisp, even deceivingly so right up to the finish as the resin coats the mouth with an unassertive bitterness that lingers gently on the palate, fading to a yeasty bready softness.

Feel is nice, medium bodied with a moderate mouth coating. Sticky without being heavy at all. Carbonation is very submissive, adding a lightness to the feel.

The more I drink, the more I want this beer. A very well moderated hop showcase, this beer is a great version of the style, with everything to love about an imperial IPA and very little of the overbearing intensity in some other IIPAs. Only drawback is the extremely well hidden 11%abv.

I'll admit, I tried this one only because it listed exactly what went into making the beer on the label and I figured if they went to the trouble to spell it all out it is probably good.

Luckily I was right, this is a fantastic beer, one of the very best IPAs I've ever tasted.

The beer pours our a light copper color with a two finger head in a the hotel highball glass. I know, wrong glass ... I'm traveling give me a break ;) Nothing that blows me away about the way it looks but nothing that puts me off either. Decent lacing.

The smell is where this beer grabbed my attention. The hops are right there up front, but surprisingly so was the malt. It was like a chorus instead of the solo. For 11% there isn't much alcohol smell. This is a good/bad thing depending on your point of view, good to me. I did drink this quite a bit warmer than most would, so I might have had an especially big aroma hit.

Taste was just as balance and harmonious as the smell. Plenty of the malty sweet goodness tempered out by the bitter, oily hops.

I hate to rate drinkability at only a 4, but realistically this beer kicks your butt in a hurry. More than one of these and this review would have been a whole lot harder to type ;)

It is a little pricey, but I don't regret the purchase one bit. I will likely buy again.

A: Beautiful dark copper colour, crystal clear with a decent head

S: Dominating hop aromas coming from this one, just a huge blast

T: Hops hit the tongue first with a nice fruity flavour. hop bitterness follows with a bit of alcohol warmth, surprisingly mild in terms of alcohol considering it's 11% actually. Toasted grains come in with a sweetness that lingers and blends with a bitter hop finish. Beautiful balance on display here, not too bitter and not too sweet, just huge flavours working together.

M: soft and smooth, medium body with just enough carbonation to bring out all the flavours

D: No doubt this beer packs a wallop, and it'll almost certainly tire out my taste buds. not much use switching to another beer afterwards either since next to this it'll taste like water.

A huge thanks for Andy in NY for trading me this great beer. This poured in to my Duvel glass a very clear copper color with a nice solid and long lasting head that left great lacing on the glass. This was at 42 degrees as recommended on the bottle. Nose was very strong with lots of citrus, pine, and some fruit. Very rich and almost slick mouthfeel. Flavor is powerful and full of solid flavors that tend toward ripe fruits. Long bitter finish. This is a complex beer which might not please everyone but I like this kinds of brew. The alcohol is present but at 11 percent what can you expect. This is not the same as Pliny the Elder which I had a bottle of the night before, but in its own way is almost as good. Thanks Andy for a simply superb beer.

Pours a bright and clear orange with a foamy white head, three fingers, that never leaves and produces some very good lacing down the glass. Aroma citrus and hops but with a noticeable sweetness. Very well balanced despite being very hoppy, brew is syrupy but not too thick, sweet citrus notes and grapefruit give way to a restrained, but floral and citrusy bitterness.

Need to put out an APB for the alcohol, which is nowhere to be found; one of the easiest drinking DIPAs, especially given its strength, very smooth.

A top-tier DIPA here, glad to have it on the menu.
