HUB Ace of Spades IPA

This is my first beer from these guys and I really regret not getting to try any of there products on my trip to Oregon.  I will not make that mistake again as this will be my 1st stop in September.  Where do I start with this one?  pours a nice opaque caramel colour, with a thin white head.  It smells of pine and grapefruit right off the top.  This beer is a beast with a 9.5% ABV & a 100+ IBU not for the week of taste.  With it's high IBU you would think it would be a tongue twister but they balance out the hops with a super high malt background making this as easy to drink as any Imperial IPA going.  It does pack a bit of a hefty price tag of close to $20 but I will put this into my rotation if it's still available.
