Can gifted by Airforcehops hazy peach with a a nice white head. Aroma is mango pineapple caramel grain and pine. Taste is sweet almost too much caramel which is the issue with doubles. Juicy fruit grain light alcohol and a lingering bitterness. Its almost there a few more tweaks.

16 oz. can purchased at Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury. Appearance is a dirty straw golden color. Aroma is almost exclusively pineapple with some sweet grain or caramel. Labor is mostly fruit with a mild undertone of earthy hints. The grain bill, even at this 8% is not hidden. It is leaning on the caramel side (which can be a danger for any imperial IPA). Still that said the fruit with bitterness is enough for balance. A slight note of alcohol. All things considered this one falls kind of middle of the road for me.
