Deadlift Imperial IPA is unlike any Imperial IPA you’ve ever lifted from the beer aisle. It has the strong hop flavor you’d expect from an Imperial IPA but no heaviness that could weigh down your desire to take another sip. The unique flavor stems in part from Nelson Sauvin hops imported from New Zealand. Deadlift’s other component, a simple but fully braced malt backbone muscles up enough malty sweetness and caramel character to spot the incredibly robust hop flavor and aroma.
Deadlift Imperial IPA uses Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand’s best hop growing region: South Island’s Nelson. This region produces some of the most flavorful hops found anywhere. These hops have an intense citrus, fruity, berry-like aroma and flavor that makes them unique. The result will surely be a welcome workout for your taste buds.

Bottle at the Hangover. Loads of tropical fruit, really easy to drink. Couldn't believe the % when I noticed it. None if the DIPA stickiness you'd expect. Just great hoppiness. I was a bit lit by this stage though. --- Beer merged from original tick of Deadlift Imperial IPA on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Bottle (as Nelson Imperial IPA) from biershop.com. Pours amber with a small white head. Intense aroma of fresh hop, fruit, zest and bread. Medium sweetness, developing bitterness. Medium body, a sticky texture, low carbonation. Finish has more lasting bitterness, somewhat dry. A decent brew.
