Brewed with Tomahawk and Simcoe hops. Viven Imperial IPA came from the westcoast of America but is brewed in Flemish style and gives a great result. It will make the beer lovers heart beat a bit faster. An adventure for your senses. Amber coloured with a thin off-white head, Viven Imperial IPA is a good hoppy beer with citrus accents. Fruity nose (peach and pink grapefruit) with floral flavours, recalls a forest (spruce) in the early morning. The hops are prominent. Viven Imperial IPA is pleasently bitter.

Flaska från bier-deluxe. Disig, bärnstensfärgad, stort bestående smutsvitt skum. Stor grapehumledoft och tropisk frukt, men också något muggigt beskunket i bakgrunden. Väldigt kraftigt humlat med beskunkna bismaker som resultat. Dessa försvinner till stor del vid lite luftning. Kex, kolakakor, karamell, grapeskal, apelsinsaft, metall, fruktcocktail. Riktigt kraftig beska. En relativt stiltypisk tung amerikansk DIPA. Maffig men också med störande bismaker. Godkänd men sknar en hel del för att vara riktigt bra.

Bottle @ East of Eden, shared with my sister. Reddish brown color. Big off white head with good retention and fair lacing. Aroma’s of herbal and flowery hops, hop bitterness. Flavor is moderate bitter with a malty sweet backbone. Medium bodied. Finishes a bit dry, rather bitter. Nice, need to re-rate @ home sometime.

Bottle @ D-Day in Mojnlandet :-) Pours hazy rich amber with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of hops, with notes of malt and yeast, and subtle touches of fruit. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with round, sweetish notes of fruit and caramel malt. Bitter aftertaste. OK.

Bottle, 8.0%. Caramelly aroma, hint of pine. Cloudy amber colour. Good stable off-white head. The flavour starts off very bitter. Then comes a distinct caramelly and piney hop flavour. The bitterness just keeps on going, which is a shame, because it is really a bit rough and unpleasant. High carbonation. Underneath the bitterness is a rather interesting and pleasant caramelly maltiness along with a good and cleansing hop flavour.
