Sister is the most imperious of our Imperial Series and is inspired by our desire to thank Sisters everywhere. Without our Sisters, we would have never learned the finer points of emotional warfare, or the art of huffing and puffing, or snide remarking, how long to carry a grudge, or the true meaning of loyalty when one of us is hurt. This Sister is fittingly bitter and a little sweet but she will always be there for you…Because Sisters Matter. “Never Let An Angry Sister Comb Your Hair.” – VWP

12 oz can on 14th March 2019 while sat in the Californian sun. Slight haze to the golden orange pour, decent crown on top that hung around for a while. Nose held both hoppy and malty esters with a fruity twist. Piney hop taste, semi-bitter with other flavours trying to burst through (malts and citrusy notes). Liked it.

355ml can from Beerma, Kanda. Pours creamy golden with a decent, thick white long-lasting head, leaving some beautiful lacings. Nose is fruity, some sweeter base but overall has lots of resins and hop character is overflowing. Tastes tropical, super piney and resiny, finish turns dry-ish, and basically goes down dangerously easy. Nom-nom, super tasty and enjoyable. Alcohol nowhere to be seen. Could session this (and regret later), near perfect body and balance.

I'm a little disappointed in you what I have from what I've been reading. The Aromas are fairly simple basically pale malt and some fresh resiny hop. Flavors are like nose leaning sweet a little medicinal flavors in the Finish, body is decent otherwise nothing major.

12 oz. can. Canned on 3/8/18. Slightly hazy orange. Aroma is mild pine, candied fruit, and even florals. This falls along the more classic in the style. Sweet malt backbone with some candied fruit. Yet, the floral and pine bitterness lets you know this is a bolder IPA. Very minor tropical hints with a more stern bitter, dry finish. This reminds me how IPA's were before "New England" IPA's ruled the world. Real good stuff.

From a bomber. Pours a clear copper with a massive off white head. Aromas of tropical fruit and light citrus notes. Flavors are bitter with a sweet malt backbone. Lingering bitter finish.
