Bottle, 0.33l. Pale orange pour, one finger soapy white head. Short lasting, low retention, minimal lacing. Grassy, peppery nose. Lime and herbs, some British hops. Thin to medium body. Average carbonation, a bit prickly. Fizzy mouthfeel, somewhat light texture. Moderately bitter taste. Good grassy hop aroma, herbal, peppery. Grains. Citrus. Some yeasty notes. British hops. Dry mouthfeel, slight alcohol in the aftertaste. Kinda feels more like a blond ale, not much of an Imperial IPA. Not bad, tho. Overall, yeah - not bad. But not great either. Similar to their "Russian Imperial Stout" which is actually a black IPA in disguise, this one also missed the style. Still - smooth and drinkable.

Amarillenta turbia de espuma blanca, densa. Aspecto de witbier. Lúpulo en el aroma, resinoso, herbal. Bien de gas, amargor intenso en boca, desde el principio y sobre todo al final, muy seco. Cítrica, pomelo marcado, notas de uva y algo de fruta tropical. Realmente seca y realmente amarga. como cabe esperar de una Imperial IPA.
