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.

Anaranjada, de densa espuma y buen aspecto. Aroma muy lupulado, naranja, mandarina, hierba.. Sabor mejora el aroma, pronunciando todo y apareciendo además la base rica malteada. La levadura belga la distingue de las IPAs de influencia británica, dejando un conjunto que sabe combinar lo mejor de los dos mundos en una gran cerveza muy equilibrada y sabrosa.

Deep copper coloured body with a strong bronze glow and a thick, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of alcohol, honey, oak, bread, white pepper, yeast and quite a load of hops - but strong all around. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong hoppy flavour with a big spicey and piney kick and a large malt body along with some dry herbal notes as well. Aftertaste has a bit of spice, some yeast, a little honey and sweetness and finishes with a pleasant effervesce which brings out the floral and grassy characteristics. Overall, a strong beer that shows well throughout that lends itself almost to a Belgian Ale or Tripel that’s a bit hoppy. Nice to sample, although doesn’t compare one-to-one to an American Imperial IPA. Still, a nice option for me in my 5000th rating, Beer #3 to celebrate, an Imperial IPA. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Bier Temple in Bruxelles, Belgium on 18-January-2015 for €3,00 sampled at home on 15-May-2015. Best Before: 17-November-2016

Flaske delt med Ovesen på tappedag mars-15: lett uklar mørk oransjegylden med utmerket belgisk skum som varer. Duft av karamell, grapefrukt, litt furunål og klementiner. Godt humlebitt gjør susen og balanserer utmerket. "An American in Belgium".
