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, 35.5cl) Hazy, amber to copper colour with a short off-white foamy head. Mildly bready malty aroma with notes of caramel, cough syrup and piney, also grape-fruity hops. Moderately sweet and mildly bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Cara-malt mix-up with fruity and mildly piney hops; slightly bready caras-malty finish with drying and fruity hops. Satisfying. 22.VII.13

Bottle(as Nelson Imperial IPA): Deep golden, a bit unclear, visible carbonation, small and lacy creamy off-white head, sweetish grainy-bready nose, but dominated by dry fruity to grapefruity hops; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, full bodied and quite soft; lingering and well balanced finish of dry hops with a tinge of cough-syrup and a certain balancing sweetness. Very moreish Bier…

8.5% 525 yen at Asahiya. A mellow orange gold with a light beige head. Hoppy aroma of pine boughs and white grape. Easy drinking beer, sweet hints of caramel malts, then a pleasant bitterness that finishes on a sweet fruity note. Quite nice. A smooth creamy mouthfeel...
