Draft 12 oz pour at Special Brews. Bright, dense, glowing orange juice haze, tons of sticky head and lacing. Cool and inviting stone fruit aroma. Really grabs your attention. Aromatic brew. Flavor is quite intense, with tons of hop burn, almost acidic her. Citrus and stone fruit with a slow burn bitter constant. Sharp first sip. Keep thinking this will smooth out, but maybe they aim for this beer to be a constant reminder that it's not a light brew. Overall an intriguing imperial. Lots of good things going on, but this one is definitely aggressive.

Taster on Oct-18. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: juicy, tropical fruits, some grass. Taste: along the same lines, low to moderate hoppy bitterness. Overall: nice one.
