This Imperial IPA is truly heavenly; we hop it intensely, and then balance it with local honey for a result that's both powerful and extremely drinkable.

A full light tan head on a dense copper/orange body. Nose features citrus hops, alcohol and malt. This is a nice mix of hops and biscuity malt. The hops morph through a wide range of tastes, including citrus, citrus rind, floral, and a heavier earthier hops finish. The honey and sweet malts balance off the hops well. The medium to thick body and 10.1% abv make this DIPA a real east-coast style meal.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is strong resinous hop with pine resin, grapefruit, malt, caramel, touch of toffee, orange, marmalade. Flavour is fairly sweet with a long bittersweet finish and some alcohol. Body is medium to full. Highly resinous and piney with caramel malt, ripe-ish fruits, bit boozy. On its way to being a hoppy Barley Wine, rough around the edges but I really like this resin bomb.

Bottle from Brewdog Online Shop. Pours a lovely clear copper with a thin off-white head. Heady resin and pine aromas. Taste is rich, bitter, orange peel, resin and wood. Slightly sticky, faint honey. Cleans up nicely though.
