Deep, slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of resin, light pine, some grapefruit and a more herbal and grassy note, along with some alcohol noticeable and a good balanced malt profile. Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very dry hop profile at first with some light sweetness from the citrus and even light tropically fruits with some grain and malt noticeable, but a rather strong pungency and even astringent quality from the alcohol that hits towards the end. Aftertaste is dry, very bitter from the hops and showing a relatively nice blend of sweetness and alcohol bite, all with some of the bitterness, but not much, considering the style. Overall, a nice Imperial-ish IPA that borders on 'Imperial' Statatus, but showing some nice sweetness. I sampled this thirty-two ounce crowler, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 07-November-2019 for US$8,00 sampled a day later in my hotel room here in Omaha, Nebraska on 08-November-2019.

Flavor is a mild mix of grass and tropical fruit. Bitterness is medium in a medium body. Good carb level.
