Very hazy golden and light peach coloured body with a thin, white head, just a centimetre tall. Aroma of pure citrus and deep resinous hops with a lot of alpha acids, a good piney note at the end with some alcohol and malt noticeable on the edges. Medium-bodied; Strong hoppy flavours dominate with some resin, a touch of grass and hay with a light grainy note of malt along with yeast on the tail end that makes this a bit more complex than just pure hops, the grainy and lightly biscuity notes come through and show nicely at the end. Aftertaste shows the grain, a dose of softer sugars from the citrus fruits and a lot of hops, but not really of the bitter quality, more pure citrus and grassy notes with a little extra alcohol thrown in the mix. Overall, a pretty nice Imperial IPA with a bigger biscuity and grassy kick than most, but an excellent balance and a touch of pure full oranges and curacao at the very end. Good to try, and perhaps even better on tap! I sampled this sixteen ounce pour on draught at Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 30-October-2019 for US$5,00.
