Clear, but deep and rich copper and bronze coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall off-white head that says afloat nicely. Aroma of grapefruit, metal, light earth, toffee and a rich, bready resinous hop scent, with alcohol noticeable as well. Full-bodied; Fairly rich malty and bready flavours show at first with a lot of syrupy and resinous notes that have a little pineapple and some grapefruit with a pungent hop bitterness from the alpha acids near the end. Aftertaste is very rich with a lot of syrupy and resinous notes with a subdued bready and floral finish that shows a great balance of malt and hops, with a very enjoyable sweetness from fruit and caramelised sugr that seems to hit all the right notes near the end. Overall, a very nice Imperial IPA that has great flavours and range, a good complexity near the end that isn't cloying, nor pungent and hides the alcohol nicely - this one tastes closer to 7,5 per cent! A great start to the twelve pack Christmas Sampler - a solid Imperial IPA in the right format! I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased as part of the 12-pack Christmas Sampler, from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 12-November-2021 for US$19,99/twelve pack, with a 'best by' date of 31-January-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-December-2021.

Bought in a four pack of one pint cans a month or so ago, I am ready to give one a try. 100 plus degree weather dictates a serving as cold as possible, half the can goes into a chilled Buffalo Bayou tulip glass. First impression is positive, a deep red-orange body topped with a heroic head of off-white foam. I take a whiff, pine, pineapple, cut grass. Finally a drink. There is a light resin, lemon, mango followed by a firm bitterness. All in all, not a big presence but it does fine tonight. Three more for later. 6/6/18
