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.

Tap at Haymarket. Copper orange-body. Classic IIPA. Sweet caramel. big malty tones. Classic citrus rind hop feel. Resinous. tasty beer. A little more malty and balanced new school citra bombs. Not mind blowing, but a quality example. Chewy, but not overwhelming on the palate. Right on.

Pours a dark, clear, orangeish-copper, with minimal head and lacing. Aroma of citrus and tropical fruit, along with pinecone hops. Flavor is strong hops, with a lot of malt sweetness and a noticeable booziness. Quite bitter in the finish. Not bad.

Still finishing my notes from the 2011 MWBF. Not a big, hoppy smell to it. I get a little citrus and pine. Nice, thick malty taste to it. Very orangey amber color and some lacy foam in the glass.
