As Imperial IPAs go this is a beast. Delivering a giant road kill of flavour. Back up the truck. The first payload of piney, citrus and stone fruit notes hit. Closely tailgated by flavours of caramel and biscuit malt. There’s no stopping this rig as warming alcohol sits bumper to bumper with a long bitter finish. Juggernaut = An Air-horn wake up call for the senses.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can, canned on January 30, 2019 poured into a glass. Clear golden with medium white head. Aroma is light citrus hops, medium body, lower carbonation, and pretty good small-bubble lacing. Taste is light citrus hops and malt backbone.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 1/30/2019. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, biscuit dough, toast, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Slight booze in the aromas as it warms. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, biscuit dough, toast, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, woody, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, honeydew melon, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, honey, biscuit dough, toast, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Mild increasing warmth of 8.8% after the finish. Overall this is an awesome DIPA. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the big ABV, with the mellowly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, and not aggressive. Feels like Citra, Columbus, Centennial, Amarillo. Extremely juicy, and fairly dank/earthy hops; with a great balanced dark/bready malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering resin dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example as expected of the brewery.

Quite hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of alcohol, metal, light grassy malt and a dash of fruits - ranging from apricots to peaches and then to some figs towards the end. Medium-bodied; Strong alcohol showing with a lot of grain and body, with a good deal of sugars coming from the fruits along with some caster sugar and caramel sweetness. Aftertaste shows the alcohol along with a good deal of bitterness from hop flavours, such as pine and grapefruit with very little else scattered throughout the beer. Overall, a pretty plain beer with some noticeable hop bites, definitely more noticeable from the malt and alcohol/pungency perspective, but nothing truly original or enjoyable here to make you go out and buy this one. Not a horrible offering, but most are much better for the style than this one. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-September-2018 for US$2,19 sampled in my hotel room here in Newport News, Virginia on 17-November-2018.

Another IPA in a can, must be a brazillion of them. Pour is hazy dull yellow. Smell is certainly dull IPA hops. Taste is what else but giant earthy kick in the ass hops. A little less intense than I thought it would be, I've had straight up ass IPA that kicked more than this but still, its terribly on style. Big mouth coating bitter hops experience. Rude, radical and nasty random. Ruthless mouth raiding rubber and pine tar. Over the top and down the sides. Quite nasty, terribly on style. If you like IPA, ignore my numbers, you'll find this quite interesting. Think about chewing on aged green grapefruit rinds soaked in turpentine. At least it don't smell like your girlfriend's BO.
