Very hazy orange, copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, three to four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of resin, honey, flowers, grass and very subtle citrus fruits - quite nice considering the ABV. Medium to Full-bodied; Very rich malt, citrus, resin, pine, flowers, grass and even some candy notes, all coming from the hops, but the balance is very nice, with obviously a lot of malt as well, but some smooth sweetness at the end lets this finish very nicely. Aftertaste is very rich and pungent of course, with the alcohol and warmth finishing it off nicely along with some nicely blended sweetness, citrus fruits and honey/resin as well. Overall, a very nice, yet super pungent [real] Imperial IPA that hits all the right marks, leaves a nice finish on the palate and is relatively smooth despite higher alcohol. Well-recommended for a real Imperial IPA that just clocks in a barely palatable size for sampling (pint-sized can). Great to try fresh - get it if you CAN. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 12-June-2020 for US$5,30 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-July-2020.

Draft at Pizzeria Paradiso in Gtown. Decent stab. Filthy looking but bright with lots of lacing. Aroma is really fruit juicy and citrus with low low bitterness. Flavor is similar with light acrid hop peaking through but very light. Full mouth with reduced carbonation. Sweet hop finish and a bit of acrid bitterness sneaking again. Lovely surprise. Need to work on that acrid part.

Draft at Spacebar. Poured a very hazy dark yellow color with a small slightly off-white head. Aroam was super juicy orange, light citrus. Slight boozy sweetness, light resin, with some orange pulp. Pretty tasty!
