Very hazy straw yellow coloured body with a thinnish one to two centimetre tall frothy off-white head that fades fast, but leaves an ugly lace on the top and sides of the glass. Aroma of mangoes, oranges, wheat, curacao and a touch of pure caster sugar with some softer yeast and bread in the nose, too. Full-bodied; Very rich sugary, sweet and fruity flavours dominate with some deep wheat and oaty maltiness noticeable, but the orange, grapefruit and mango fruit flavours do come through as well, but the sweetness is strongest. Aftertaste is deep, dank, syrupy and sweet, with some relatively strong sugars that persist from beginning to end, with some noticeable fruit qualities, a lot of oat and wheat malt body and absolutely no bitterness, but this is a bit too sweet and cloying for me. Overall, a decent IPA that shows Imperial Status in the richness and sugary qualities and while the alcohol is hidden pretty well, this is pretty straight-forward and new-school, non-bitter and too sweet and cloying. Decent enough to try for the price, but not worth buying again! I sampled this four pack of sixteen ounce, pint-sized cans, purchased from Giant Food [grocery] in Manassas, Virginia on 18-December-2022 for US$9,99/four pack sampled at my house here in Washington on 03-January-2023.
