Super hazy perfect copper coloured body with an orange glow and a thick, two centimetre tall fluffy tan head - very nice looking beer. Aroma of citrus, cascade hops, alcohol, pine, sugars and a very nice tropical fruit flavour. Full-bodied; Deep rich malty flavour at first with a ton of bright citrus and piney hops and a lot of alcohol that shows through immediately. Fruits dominate the finish with a lot of sugars, a decent amount of malt, a ton of hops and a few tons of alcohol - very strong in the finish. Overall, a nice Imperial IPA, perhaps a bit too strong in alcohol and too big of a bottle, but a nicely done beer, that if you like the style - you’ll like this one. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Tustin, California on 06-December-2011 for US$6.29 sampled at home in Washington on 13-May-2012.
