32oz growler pours a translucent, dark orange with some lacing, clump, white head. Nose is very pithy citrus, grapefruit and orange, pine, soap, honey, malt, some kumquat. Flavor is mostly bitter, strong grapefruit, like biting through the rind of an orange, a little blood orange, kumquat, pine, honey, a little candy. Full bodied, sticky finish. A good beer, but very much in the vein of all DIPAs. Nothing really stick out, but still well made.

On tap at Fate, called Imperial. It pours with a clear copper body with thin gold edges and supporting a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up resin like hoppiness leaning quickly into citrus and mango tropical fruitiness. The taste is rich and pleasingly resiny with hoppy goodness that rings up grapefruit hop bitterness and some mango like tropical fruit. These hops are sweetened up just the right amount by a modest sweet malty base. Pretty solid IIPA.
