Nice resin, grapefruit rind and tropical fruit nose. A fine white head on an unfiltered tan body. The taste profile is as billed, pine resin, grapefruit rind and splashes of orange and lemon lead the hop heavy taste spectrum. Hits harder than some 100 IBU Imperials, but some have more freshness and distinction to each hop element. A generally dry beer with some sweetness building as the drink progresses. Never gets overly sweet though. A very nice bitter Imperial.

Bottled. Pours an orange. Big white head. Fresh pine and grapefruit scent. Taste is fresh piney citrus and some malts. Basically a slightly maltier bigger version of the regular iipa IMO - quite good.

I've got a tall boy can of Seeking Alpha obtained from Halftime that the label says is 10% abv and also informs that canning was on 11/8/21. I have a New Belgium globe glass in place to catch the pour. The liquid is an appealing, dark gold-orange with a small head of off-white foam. I smell hops, stewed yellow fruit and meadow. The taste goes in a direction I appreciate, more of a beer/cocktail combination than a hop bomb, although I like both. White bread, fermented nectarines, malt, hops, cane syrup, melon and apricots. Potent tasting but less of a punch than the previous version, obviously. Glad to have it.

Draft. Surprisingly low bitterness for the style. Thick malt but not caramel. Sweet alcohol but surprisingly low for 12%. Big hop beer without the poor malt or hop aspects. But not my bag at the end of the day. 7/3/7/3/15

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Aroma is strong fruit, grapefruit, with trace of resin. Appearance is cloudy orange-yellow with mild sparkle at edges of glass, transient small white head with minimal lacing. Taste is strong fruit, grapefruit, citrus, with malty base balance with light bitter. Palate is full bodied with thick texture, average carbonation, some alcohol warmth, and sweet fruit and mild bitter finish. Overall, bold all around with strong aromas and flavors.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Dusty stone fruit aromas. Thick with hot caramel and honey upfront turning to warming apricot and peach before the lasting earthy hot resin finish. Very warming, this one.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazed honey gold color capped by a firm tight white head. Nice lace. Earthy, dank hoppy nose. First sip brings bitter hops and strong alcohol on the palate. A big resiny bite with tropical fruit notes. This brew is simply just a big bitter hop bomb. Nothing fancy here. Not for the faint of hops.
