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 pour. Pours a medium body copper with a super piney floral aroma. Thin lasting head. Piney hop flavor balanced with a nice bitter malt that sticks around forever. Bit of caramel in the flavor, but mostly a nice hop finish. Good IPA here.

hazy amber color. Huge piney hoppy nose. The mouth is very hoppy, but solid backbone with lots of pale malts, excellent balance, excellent execution. Superb IIPA on draft at the brewery.

On tap at Brouwer's Cafe for Hopfest, pours a cloudy orange with a white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, slight hemp and citrus hops. Flavour is quite hempy, with tropical fruits and citrus hops. Delicious, better than The Brother.
