Draught at the brewery, 5/21/16.
A hazy, though not soupy, golden-to-light-amber with a white head atop showing average retention.
Juicy fruits in the nose showcase mango and pineapple but there’s also some stronger grapefruit and pine here, as well as a strong spicy, dank element. Modest caramel and honey from the malt, help to balance and there is perhaps a touch of alcohol. Clean.
Juicy again in the mouth, though the caramel sweetness and light heat do intensify the flavors a good deal. Low carbonation, slightly loose at times, with pine, strawberry, mango and pineapple on the finish. Medium to medium-high bitterness and a malty texture.

Sampled at the brewery. 5/21/2016. Bright yellow color. Aroma is bold: beautiful citrus hops (orange, grapefruit, citrus pith) with pale grain and light floral notes.
Flavor is sweet malt up front with some great popping citrus hop character. Lots of nice juicy citrus hints throughout the sip. Lighter to medium in body with a nice level of bitterness. Nothing is overdone here. Very refreshing Imperial IPA.

A very light yellow color. Smells amazing. Loads of juicy citrus. Just smells really good. The mouthfeel is lacking a real filling essence. There is a sweetness at the finish. Lots of oranges, grapefruit, kiwi and even some mango. Tasty. Just would like more carb.
