Retribütion Imperial IPA is brewed for the true connoisseur of all things hoppy. We brew this beer with one theme, go big... or go home... Layers of bittering finishing and aroma hops all combine to result in a truly unique beer.

650ml bottle. Cloudy copperish golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Intense, sweaty resinous hop aroma, hints of grapefruit and pine, robust caramal malty background. Taste is moderately bitter hoppy, intensely resinous, some pine, grapefruit, caramel malty basis absorbs some of the hop bitterness. Solid, though not overwhelming Double IPA.

22 oz. bottle, sent from Neillago (thanks a lot, man), pours an opaque cloudy vibrant orange amber with a medium beige head. Aroma is both very hoppy and malty, with loads of resinous hops, big caramel malt, and grapefruit. Flavour is very juicy and bitter, with loads of grapefruit, oranges, truckloads of resinous hops, and a thick caramel malt background. There are also some perfumey floral notes. Despite the big malt backbone, there is almost no sweetness here. The grapefruit and resin take centre stage and completely dominate the palate. The balance isn't the best, though the flavours are very pleasant. Not an easy drinking one, due to the heaviness from the malt, but very enjoyable.

Bottled. Clear amber color, medium frothy off-white head. Aroma of biscuity malts together with piney hops, some grapefruit. Big bitterness, piney again. Quite typical american DIPA, pretty straightforward. Quite dry in taste, big bold bitterness and a typical malt base. Lacks a bit complexity though.

650ml bottle from Høkeren
Pours clear dark orange with a smooth white head. Aroma of resiny hops, pine, grass and caramely malts. Taste is malty, caramely and resiny with some resiny hops, pine and grass. Finish is sweetish and malty with loads of hops and resiny notes. Alcohol burns through a bit. Okay, quite malty and heavy DIPA.

Mycket välbalanserad IPA. Flyktiga toner å bra beska utan att något sticker ut för mycket imponerande öl.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; bright clear copper pour with off white head, floral hop aroma with some peach, pine resinous hop taste peach, caramel sweet, ABV present. Not the best DIPA I’ve had but solid nonetheless.
