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.

Flaska på Nya Tröls. Stor fin humledoft som är lätt parfymerad med mycket tall, blommig, örtig, med inslag av gröna bär och frkuter som gröna druvor, krusbär och kiwi. Rejäl karamellkropp men måttlig sötma. Medelstor beska. En frisk, fräsch, välhumlad IIPA som inte är så tung och söt men fint humlad. Riktigt god.

Sample at Hal & Al’s. This brew pours a clear pale orange color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops and tropical fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrusy hops, caramel malt and a bit of pine. The finish is hoppy up front with a tropical fruit aftertaste. Above average overall.

As ’Nelson Imperial IPA’. Hazy amber beer. Good pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and a little dry. Semi sweet caramel malt. Trace of aniseed alcohol. Mild grapey hops with touches of peach and orange marmalade. Semi dry finish. Was expecting something hoppier but this is a well balanced, unusual and tasty beer.
