Got in a trade with GreenBayBA. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy deep orange/copper/light reddish color with a 1 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light toffee, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light toffee, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, orange, lemon, peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, light toffee, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness/resins. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.2%. Overall this is a delicious imperial red! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/earthy hops and dark/bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not overly aggressive. Really classic tasting west coast style. Feels like Centennial, Columbus, Chinook, and Amarillo. Very juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; great dark/bready malt backbone, and not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
