Great Divide Titan IPA: 27

Taste: 9 Finish: 9 Visual: 5 Aroma: 4
Total: 27

It has a good aroma of floral hops. Visually it has a very nice copper color with a moderate head.


It bites the tongue at the tip. The hops then swell in force at the mid. Grapefruit definitely punches through with a bit of bitter lemon peel. In the back on the exhale are more hops. It sticks to the tongue nicely. Strong but not overpowering. Bitter but it doesn't make you grimace. There is no alcohol taste to it given it's moderate strength at 6.8%.

For a very strongly hopped IPA, there are only a few that do it better. Fantastic. If Sam Adams has a bit too much flavor for you, then this will probably kill you. But if you suck them down like Coors Light, then try Titan IPA and savor it.
