Deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, very fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of malt, honey, light resin, a dose of flowers and grassy hops with some light fruits and a dash of caster sugar, while not offering much more than that. Medium-bodied; Strong nutty and earthy malts at first with a light dose of earthier hops, showing a light sweetness from fruit and also a dry and almost airy bitterness from the hops without much malt support and sadly, no complexity and while I'm not sure how this cracked over 6,0% abv, I'm not sure it's even that. Aftertaste shows the grainy qualities with more malt than hops and a twinge of sweetness from the sugars, but nothing else, especially in terms of deep flavours or hops - this is fairly bland throughout. Overall, a decent, if that, 'typical' IPA that somehow got 'Imperial' Status, but doesn't deserve it - nor is worth trying at all - this is bland throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Total Wine in Towson, Maryland on 27-May-2019 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 07-July-2019.
