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.

Bottle (well out of date !) from Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe. Pours a hazy rich chestnut brown with a small cream/yellow head. Bottle conditioned, so gets gradually clousier. Floral hops to the fore in the aroma, along with honey and peanuts. In the mouth, marmalade jumps out at you immediately. Traditional hops are close behind, and they gradually take over. Hops remain in the finish, and some of the alcoholic strength comes through. Very nice and dangerously drinkable !

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours reddish blond, medium transparent, with fine white foam, limited. Aroma is clearly honey and floral, also hoppy/resinous. Body is average, with a little sticky, with average carbonation. Taste is a nice mix of intense sweetness and bitterness. Final is bitterish and spiced too.

Ein belgisches Imperial IPA, also ein speziell starkes -bitteres- India Pale Ale. So bitter, dass manche schon ihre Probleme haben könnten, aber wenn man sich hinter diesen Hopfenbittervorhang wagt, findet man coole grüne Grasnoten und spritzige Spitzen. Mir ist es ein bisschen zu viel, aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass es Hopfenliebhaber für dieses Bier gibt.

TONS of sediment, and cloudier and darker than other pictures seem to suggest. Funky aftertaste, I think this bottles gone bad.

Bottle from Belgiuminabox. Pours a murky deep orange colour with a medium to large sized thick throthy beige head. Aromas of tropical, stone and citrus fruits, floral, pine and spice. Taste is more fruity notes with added orange zest and a hoppy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with a smooth slick slightly oily mouthfeel and a long citrus and hoppy finish. Really fresh. Excellent beer
