An Our mission for this Imperial or ’Double’ India Pale Ale is to overload the beer with hops for an intense hop bitterness, flavor and aroma while still being balanced by a big malt profile, resulting in a hoppy beer with more dimension. This beer is light copper in color with some hop haze from overloading with dry hops as well.

Sample at Hoof Hearted during the "Tickling South - Dual Can Release" on 04/09/2017. Clear dark amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily to a film. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of pine, hops and malt. Medium to full body with flavors of resiny hops, fruit and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a piney hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can poured to pint glass. Carmel color, malty aroma. I like malt- forward IIPA’s, but this one pegs the meter! My palate didn’t pick up anything else.

355ml can from Total Wine, Tampa. Orangée, cuivrée, col crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, caramel, fine note houblonnée assez renfermée, herbacé. Palais est malté, avec un niveau alcool assez présent, note sucrée résiduelle, malt caramel, grains et léger biscuité. Effervescence reste haute avec un fini rappelant la pomme caramélisée. Correcte, un peu trop centrée sur les malts pour moi, et les houblons restent un peu en retrait, peut-*être que la date est déjà un peu passée.

Thanks to sebletitje! 355 ml. can split by 4. Hazy orange, big creamy white. Nose big on black bread malts, big bread, some creamy quality, harsh pine resin, malts dominate a bit,.. Taste is heavily bitter pine resin, creamy, rather boozy with big black bread malts,… Unbalanced but not entirely bad. A bit raw but pleasant enough. Creamy body.
