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.

Slightly hazy amber with full cream colored head. Sweet malts with light roasted touch, massive tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, lychee). Even a hint of chocolate. Medium bodied with creamy feel. Lovely.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Tom L. Hazy orange. Hoppy aroma of pine, some citrus, marmalade and some malt. Sweetish malty flavor, with piney and citric hops, strong bitterness and a light alcoholic note. Medium-bodied.

Location: Draft at Hay Merchant, 2/17/14
Aroma: The aroma has a good amount of sweet caramel and citrus on the nose
Appearance: It has a hazed reddish-orange pour with an off-white head and plus lace
Flavor: It is medium sweet and light-medium bitter, fairly heavy malty
Palate: Medium body, smooth and creamy on mouth, soft carbonation
Overall Impression: This is a pretty tasty beer, but sweeter than I'd like in the style. The caramel overpowers everything else.
