Bomber from Tavour labeled 72 Hour Work Week Imperial IPA. I called the brewery and found it was a new label and name for the Imperial IPA so am adding my rating here 10% ABV. Nose is pine, grapefruit, and tangerine. Clear orange with a bigger, lightly lacing light beige head. Flavor is big peppery, lightly bitter, with lots of white pepper and a bit of nuttiness. It nicely compliments the homemade fired rice my wife fixed for dinner.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours hazy dark orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, mango, peach, pineapple, lemon, orange peel, light pine, floral, grass, caramel, toffee, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, mango, peach, pineapple, lemon, orange peel, light pine, floral, grass, caramel, toffee, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, mango, peach, lemon/orange zest, caramel, toffee, toasted bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and robustness of citrus/tropical hops and balanced dark/bready malt sweetness; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy, and lightly slick/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice DIPA. All around good balance, robustness, and complexity of citrus/tropical hops and dark/bready malt sweetness; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
