Bottle from Total Wine, Lynnwood, WA; 8% ABV
Amber color, hazy. Biscuity aroma, mild orangey hops. Sweet but not thick or syrupy, caramel based, a bit bready and grainy, with resiny hops, but not much brightness.
Not the IIPA you look for in 2017, but it’s a good beer.

Quite cloudy, light brown. Thin head. Super chewy aroma - all kinds of crystal malt, alcohol and cheesy hops. Just everything you don’t want in an IIPA. Bitter, but with a lot of sweetness. No real hop brightness, just a touch of stale hops. No positive traits here.

22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma is cloyingly sweet, with lots of caramel malt, medicinal sweet syrup, and light resinous hops. Flavour is sweet, yeasty and earthy, with lots of cloyingly sweet caramel malt, some medicinal syrupy qualities, and bitter resinous hops. Over-malted and lacking balance. Cloyingly sweet, with a syrupy finish. This isn't good.

Draft pour at Dystopian State, Tacoma. A slightly cloudy golden copper pour with a thin, but lasting foam head and lacing. Sweet malt, pineapple like aroma. Flavor is bold and sweet malts, strong impression with a warming finish. Mixed tropical fruit notes in there. Tasty imperial overall.
