Hazy copper and bronze coloured body with a nice, very fast-dying tan head, only a centimetre tall. Aroma of alcohol, pungent apricots and peaches, a good deal of resinous and floral hops and a smooth, but substantial malt backbone. Medium to Full-bodied; Syrupy, sweet flavour with resin, pine, hops, earth, grain, toffee and a pungent floral flavour dominate at first, with a lot of bitterness from those hops, but also showing some sweetness from all the unfinished sugars. Aftertaste borders between the rich sweetness, the pungent and resinous hops and a good deal of support from the earthy malt. Overall, a balanced and well-hopped Imperial IPA with a proper flavour profile, some nice flavours and that great balance that really makes or breaks beers in this category. Nice to try and very well-executed, especially for an East Coast-based Imperial IPA. Great to try and well worth trying to find and drink fresh-ish if you can find it! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Grape Vine in Fort Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 for US$2,98 after watching the Eclipse with my family, sampled back at home in Washington on 08-December-2017.

Brewvival Trip Beer 9. Draft at the brewery. Pours a murky orange color with a large creamy off-white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of intense resin hops with pine, citrus and tropical hops and caramel malts. Huge hoppy taste with notes of resin, herbal, vegetal and candied citrus. Pale malts. Medium bodied, faint booze. Different DIPA, but quite nice.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a near clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has some sweetalts with pine hops and a hint of grass. Flavor had line up front with more of a sweet grain and grassy finish.
