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

On tap at the brewery pours out orange topped with a white head. Nose is nice grapefruit pithy bitter forward some pine and bread malts. Taste is more of the nice grapefruit notes with a we'll balanced malt bill.

Can from Total Wine, Lynnwood, WA, tagged 04/04/17, nearly 4 months old
Hazy light amber color. Nice aroma of bready malts and mildly dank hop. Moderately sweet, good malt base, quite strong, cereals, followed by resiny hops.
Not the freshest, but still quite good.

Small can shared at Alex’s. Canned on 2017-04-04. Pours a hazy golden with a white hear. First nose is candied citruses, second is more herbally with some dirty notes. Same taste. Quite good.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is a real nice citrus and maybe some pineapple fruitiness. Flavor is again a nice citrus rind fruit with bitterness for days. Grapefruit and orange peel. The bitterness will pull the enamel off your teeth. No sweet malt to get in the way of the hops, this thing is tasty and a IBU assault.

Can from CraftShack. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is very hoppy. Very complicated - tropicals, citrus, floral and more. Med + body. Flavor is earthy/malty with tropical, citrus, floral hops and more. Not wholly dry, and it seems somewhat astringent. A very different IPA, but it satisfies my hop addiction. Might be a hint of heat managing to fight its way through the hops. It’s not at all harsh.

Draft at Growler Guys. Pours a golden orange, slight haze with a small white head. Aroma is intense with hops, lots of citrus and tropical fruits. Tastes of sweet hoppy bitters and a light maltiness. Very good.

Can hazy light straw color. Thick soapy white head lots of piney hop flavors and aroma. Very big and fresh. Rather sturdy body esp fornthe light color. Not so much malty or caramel malts. A serious ipa

Grunt fill from Winco. Rather unassuming pour, but wait for it. Mellow aroma turns into huge, rich hoppy taste, with buttery consistency. Smooth slick, slides right down, heat in the gut reminds you of the ABV.

Light copper with a white head. Floral and citrus hops with plenty of malty backbone in the aroma. Medium bodied. A very sharp, astringent hop bite right off the bat. Citrus, light floral, sweet malts. Way too sharp with little flavor to back it up. Not something I’d get again.
