2018 version on draught at Beat Brew Hall, 11/2/18.
Lovely hot pink, nice and hazy, with a small, pinkish-yellow head atop showing low retention.
Juicy and fruity, of course, in the nose, it seems less strikingly bright, clear and intensely awesome as Miami Madness (3.5%), though certainly still intense. More malt, sharpness, sourness and everything that I'd like it not to have; it's too bad he felt the need to Imperialize this. But it's still fairly well-integrated with the fruit, wheat and lactic character, with no flaw or alcohol noted.
In the mouth it's juicy, quite tart/puckering, well-carbonated and engaging with good attenuation and yet plentiful malt depth and wheat softness. Lots of lactic character and the fruit is tropical and delicious, though quite homogenized as to not be able to pick it out as clearly as one could in the individual beers, unsurprisingly. Fine, I don't know. Didn't feel anywhere near on the level of the 3.5% Miami Madness I had two years ago.
