It doesn’t take a genius to know quality West Coast IPAs require a stupid amount of hops. A generous blend of Nugget hops and the four Cs—Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Columbus—brings forth a myriad of tropical fruit flavors and a brawny, persistent bitterness that makes for a highly intelligent brew.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Appearance is clear golden-amber with trace sparkle, less than finger-width foamy white head with poor retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, candied sugar, citrus and light resin. Taste follows aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, foamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation with mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, appearance and palate we profoundly average and the hop mix in aroma and taste is good but flirts gets precariously close to industrial cleanser scent.

Und noch eine alte Bewertung von mir, wo ich denke, dass mir der amerikanische Hopfen too much war. Ein äußerst trockenes Bier, das dafür aber mit allerlei amerikanischen Aromahopfen das Interesse auf sich zieht.

Bottle 355ml. Hazy amber colour with white-yellow head, nice lacing. Aromat is quite intensive, very fresh with sweet tropical fruits notes, small candy hint, a bit resin, smelling it you can feel whole cone Cascede :). Medium citrus bitterness at the beginning and very sweet, mega fresh aftertaste of tropical fruits. Medium to full body but really good drinkable in dangerous way. After few sips you can feel small hint of alcohol which warm a bit inside but it’s only small hint and does not destroy overall feeling of the beer. Very good, fresh, hoppy, aromatic imperial IPA.
