Hops climb up twine that’s just loosely tied to the trellis with a half hitch knot—and this Imperial IPA is just loosely tied to tradition. The Mosaic hop imparts surprisingly floral aromas instead of the more expected grapefruit-y notes. On the palate, complex layers of flavors might remind you of guava, mango, stone fruit and lemon, unraveling your idea of what an Imperial IPA should be.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a golden orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was citrus notes, light grapefruit. Light tropical fruit notes when consumed. Alcohol is pretty well masked in this one.

A deep brassy orange gold. A big bold juicy passionfruit and prickly pear aroma. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel and a lush fruity hop flavor that perfectly matches the aroma. This was really nice

Bottlel from Tanakaya. Pours a clear light gold with a finger of head. Big mosaic forward aromas with citrus and light pineapple dominating. Boozy for the abv but light and not overly malty. Honey on the finish with lots of pithy bitterness on the finish. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Half Hitch on 09 Jul 2016 at 21:32 - Score: 7. Original review text: Much better than their shit IPA. Still not amazing though. Love the cheat hops though ;)
